文摘

An analytical framework to elucidate corporate decisions for greening their supply chains is offered. Conditions at origin, leverage over suppliers, and end-markets’ features determine the stringency of the instrument adopted. If clean technologies do not exist and companies operate in sensitive ecosystems, they should take their operation elsewhere. Branded companies with clean technologies, strong enforcement & control over suppliers benefit from strict standards. Weak law enforcement at origin can deter companies from adopting very strict standards, even if they have a brand to protect.
