Greening Beyond Borders: Understanding the Role of Supply Chains in Environmental Sustainability

Objective

GREENCHAIN will establish a robust and innovative foundation for advancing our understanding of supply chain sustainability, by 1) developing an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates perspectives from economics, management, finance, operations management, and industrial engineering and 2) establishing empirical frameworks that leverage cutting-edge econometric approaches, novel data sources, and real-world contexts from Europe and Japan. The project will investigate the reasons, mechanisms, and conditions under which firms pressure their suppliers to reduce environmental impacts, identify key characteristics that make firms more proactive in these actions, and assess the broader implications for customers, suppliers, the environment, and the economy. GREENCHAIN's interdisciplinary approach will provide policymakers and businesses with critical insights into the drivers and dynamics of sustainable supply chain practices while equipping them with tools to evaluate the financial and environmental returns of these initiatives. Hosted by the globally renowned IESE Business School and supported by its Sustainability initiatives, I will enhance my abilities in project management, theoretical development, advanced quantitative data analysis, and the communication of research findings skills essential to establish myself as a leading expert in corporate sustainability management and contribute to both academic discourse and European policy on sustainable supply chains.
