Thisbook highlights what it takes to be successful in identifying and executing environmentalresponsibility from an operational perspective. It provides cutting-edgeresearch from globally recognized field experts. It is a useful resource for practitionersto explore why and how firms engage in environmentally responsible operations,but also a valuable resource for academics as an introductory reference thatprovides direct exposure to key environmental operational problems faced bymany firms today. This book can also be used as an introductory reading forstudents with varying educational backgrounds - from business school students interestedin environmental issues to environmental scientists interested in obtaining abusiness perspective - as it provides a broad scope of key issues at theinterface of operations management and environmental and social responsibility.

EnvironmentallyResponsible Supply Chainsis structured in a modular fashion, with each chapterintroducing and analyzinga specific timely topic, allowing readers to identify the chapters that relateto their interests. More specifically, the book distinguishes between two keydrivers of environmentally responsibility: Profit and Regulatory compliance.The book is divided into five sections. The first three sections of the bookexplore profit driven environmental responsibility, and provide examples as towhere the motives for environmentally responsible business practices come from,where business opportunities are, and what operational perspectives are key toprofitability. The last two sections of the book focus on regulation as adriver of environmental responsibility and identify motives, opportunities, oroperational perspectives as to effective regulatory compliance. Ultimately the book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of sustainable operations and highlights the latest research on the topic.
