Figure 1. Conceptual framework
in GSCM, namely, greening the suppliers, green
innovation (further divided into green product in-
novation, green process innovation, green manage-
rial innovation), environmental performance, and
competitive advantage of the firm was presented.
Based on that, a conceptual model was proposed.
The authors hope that the model and the associ-
ated review on performance indicators are useful
for future research in collecting empirical data to
support the model so that the relationship among
different variables can be confirmed.
