Item Restricted Investigating the Green Supply Chain Management in Saudi Arabia(University of Essex, 2024-09-11) Alkhaldi, Mazyad Mohammed; Moushouttas, NicosGreen supply chain management is a collection of eco-friendly management techniques designed to make businesses run more effectively and sustainably. Each good and procedure along the supply chain, from obtaining raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and delivering it, is assessed for sustainability and ecological impact. Green supply chain management (GSCM) seeks methods to limit waste and environmental impact, preserve resources, and lower the carbon footprint of goods and services. In this context, finding out how well Saudi Arabian companies can apply sustainable supply chain management techniques is the main purpose of this study. Additionally, it discusses the obstacles and constraints that affect the adoption of green practices as well as the level of environmental supply chain management knowledge within these organisations. The study will assess the present practices of GSCM in Saudi Arabia as well as the understanding or consciousness of Saudi Arabian companies regarding environmentally friendly supply chain management. The findings of the research revealed that in contemporary Saudi Arabian businesses, green supply chain management approaches are becoming increasingly intricate and nuanced. Delays in projects and other associated challenges related to the adoption of technology have prompted concerns about the trend towards digitisation in the industries. Briefly, the study demonstrates that the application of blockchain technology, along with great communication and creativity, may effectively handle the issues in a more focused way.19 0Item Restricted The Impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) Practices on the Petrochemical Industry in Saudi Arabia: A Survey Study.(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-11-28) Alshammari, Fayez; Zeng, WenjuanBackground: The petrochemical industry is one of the core pillars of the Saudi Arabian economy. It is also a significant source of harmful gases and other pollutants. However, the growing concern and awareness about climate change and other harmful environmental effects have led to increased calls to adopt GSCM practices to reduce environmental damage and boost organisational performance. Research Aim: The study explored the effects of implementing GSCM practices (green purchasing, green distribution, and green manufacturing) on the performance of the petrochemical industry in Saudi Arabia. Research Design: This survey study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design to help understand the relationship between the variables. It relied on a survey strategy to collect data from employees and executives working in major petrochemical firms in Saudi Arabia. The researcher sent out 170 questionnaires and received back 155 responses from the survey participants. The study utilised a systematic sampling method. SPSS software helped perform correlation analysis based on the collected data. Key Findings: The study found that GSCM practices positively correlated with profitability, sustainability, competitiveness, and efficiency. The analysis also established that the correlation was statistically significant for all GSCM practices and performance metrics. However, out of the three GSCM practices explored, green manufacturing had a more significant effect on organisational and sustainability performance than green purchasing and green distribution. Contribution: The study findings build on the existing literature and add new knowledge of the impact of GSCM practices on environmental and corporate performance across petrochemical firms in Saudi Arabia. The current research also supports the findings from the past studies and bridges the literature gaps in this area. More importantly, the new insights open new opportunities for future research in the Saudi Arabian context. They will also help guide GSCM implementation in petrochemical firms operating in the country. Project managers, policymakers, and operations managers will benefit from new knowledge as they will use it to make better decisions.35 0
