Critical factors for green supply chain management implementation in footwear industry

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) in the footwear industry. It focuses on identifying key factors (dimensions and corresponding sub-dimensions) that promote GSCM and examines the importance and relevance of these factors in improving sustainability and competitive advantage within the footwear manufacturing supply chain.Design/methodology/approachA literature review and expert interviews were conducted to identify the factors for GSCM in the footwear industry. The DEMATEL-based ANP (DANP) method was used to analyze the importance and interrelationships of the identified dimensions and sub-dimensions. The data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed across different levels of the supply chain to compare the significant factors affecting GSCM implementation.FindingsThe study reveals that green purchasing is the core dimension, playing a critical role in the footwear industry. Organizational and environmental management emerges as the most influential causal factors, strongly correlated with other factors. However, as to sub-dimensions, different level of supply chain members should focus on different sub-dimensions.Originality/valueThis research provides valuable insights into the key dimensions and sub-dimensions and their causal relationships in the footwear industry. It offers practical suggestions for manufacturers to prioritize organizational and environmental management as a strategic approach to maximize the benefits of GSCM.
