The Basic Principle Of Green Supply Chain Management

In the 21st century human society has been developing rapidly which also brings the threat of resource depletion, serious environmental pollution and ecological imbalance. As a pillar industry of the national economy, manufacturing industry has created much material wealth for the society, while at the same time consumed large amount of resources, resulting in greater environmental pollution. Thus, in view of the environmental impact and optimizing the use of resources, the establishment of the so-called "green" supply chain and the implementation of green supply chain management in the manufacturing supply chain are important means to achieve green manufacturing. Green supply chain management is an effective way to solve the conflict between manufacturing industry and environment from the view of system and integration. This paper briefly introduces concept and nature of green supply chain, establishes the conceptual model of green supply chain, analyzes the goal of green supply chain management, and discusses the basic principle and nature of green supply chain management from the idea of sustainable development.
