Environmentally responsible actions can play a strategic role in protecting and enhancing the image of a supply chain. The production rate of manufacturing activities is a driver that affects environmental performance the most. It becomes faster with learning, which results in generating more CO2 emissions. In this contribution, a vendor-buyer green supply chain model is studied, considering a decentralised and a centralised optimised policy.

Abstract
Environmentally responsible actions can play a strategic role in protecting and enhancing the image of a supply chain. The production rate of manufacturing activities is a driver that affects environmental performance the most. It becomes faster with learning, which results in generating more CO2 emissions. In this contribution, a vendor-buyer green supply chain model is studied, considering a decentralised and a centralised optimised policy. They consider investing in learning in production and in reducing CO2 emissions of the production process. A numerical example is presented to compare the behaviour of the model under the two policies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
