Manufacturing is shifting to Southeast Asia, creating opportunities but also significant environmental burdens. The study aims to assess how much supply chain greening is occurring in Southeast Asia. Researchers surveyed suppliers in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore using a questionnaire. The survey results reveal insights into the greening process, offering guidance for businesses, governments, and communities.
Abstract As has been widely observed nowadays, a major part of the world's manufacturing will be taking place in South East Asia in the coming decade. This would create many opportunities in this part of the world, but would also bring about substantial environmental burden. To address this problem, many large corporations have started encouraging, guiding and even funding their suppliers to be green. To determine to what extent this greening of the supply chain is taking place in South East Asia research has been undertaken encompassing The Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore with a survey questionnaire as the research instrument. The objective of this paper is to present the findings of this survey research, expecting to bring out insights in this greening process and inspire business, government and communities in this region to create an atmosphere conducive to the process.
