Application of Low Carbon Supply Chain Strategy in Industrial Sector Based on SCOR Model
Keywords:
Low Carbon Supply Chain, Process Model, Carbon Standard, SCOR Model, Performance IndicatorsAbstract
This article focuses on the application of the low-carbon supply chain concept to reduce GHG emissions in the supply chain by presenting important principles such as the analysis of supply chain structure using the SCOR model, the use of process models, the identification of GHG sources in the supply chain, carbon standards that can be applied to supply chain management, performance indicators and evaluation methods. In addition, the article presents the challenges and opportunities of applying this concept in the supply chain. The challenges that supply chains face include supply chain complexity, high investment costs, and lack of knowledge and technology, while the important opportunities include creating competitive advantages, reducing long-term costs, and accessing new markets, Respectively
