Impact of Green Supply Chain Management on Socio-Economic Performances Through Business Students Awareness

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to gain insight into the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on the ability of students at Can Tho to sustainably maintain their performance levels in business projects. Data was collected from a sample of 393 students who are presently enrolled in either business administration or international business degree programs, using a standardized questionnaire. In order to participate in the survey, exclusive invitations were sent just to persons with significant knowledge and experience in the field of supply chain and logistics. The major aim of this research was to assess the performance of firms in relation to their ability to maintain both economic and social sustainability. The study examined five aspects of GSCM, including environmental education, internal environmental management, green procurement, green manufacturing, and green distribution, in order to assess their impact. The study's results indicate that the effects of GSCM exhibited variations across the measures used to assess economic and social achievements. The implementation of green buying methods had positive effects on both aspects, although green manufacturing and internal management initiatives mostly contributed to the social dimension of the equation. This research adds to the existing body of information about the components of GSCM that pertain to sustainability. This research piece undertakes a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of several dimensions of sustainability. The discussion encompasses GSCM as well as several economic and social problems. The researchers suggest that the integration of GSCM training into college curriculum is crucial due to its significant impact on students' prospective achievements within their respective professions and broader societal contexts. Individuals who choose to engage in their personal development by pursuing a business degree are more likely to achieve success as entrepreneurs, enabling them to enhance their ventures and make significant contributions to economic growth. The inclusion of subjects such as corporate social responsibility, community service, and ecologically sustainable production in school curricula is vital for safeguarding the welfare of companies, communities, and the environment. Additional subjects that need to be included in the curriculum are environmental stewardship and ethical corporate practices.
