The great development of economic globalization requires companies to establish a global supply chain instead of the traditional limited supply chain. The global supply chain aims to ensure the timely availability of material as well as minimizing the cost of manufacturing, service and performance (Almaktoom et al., 2016). However, with the expansion of the global supply chain, resource consumption and environmental pollution problems have aroused people’s attention(Zhu and Sarkis,2004 ). Therefore, improving the global supply chain’s resource utilization efficiency and reducing the impact of manufacturing on the environment have become a hot topic(Seuring ,2016). Under this circumstance, the green supply chain concept came into being. A green supply chain is a modern management idea with the goal of minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing resource efficiency from material acquisition, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, use, to final scrapping (Srivastava,2007). Establishing green supply chains to raise the utilization efficiency of resources and reduce the impact of the manufacturing on the environment has attracted the attention of various countries and organizations. Hundreds of countries have put energy conservation and environmental protection into their development strategies, and continued to strengthen and improve relevant legislation(Mathiyazhagan et al., 2015). For example, the “Restrictions on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive in Electrical and Electronic Equipment” promulgated by the European Union in 2006(EU-Directive, 2003) prompted manufacturers to attach great importance to toxic and hazardous substances in products. Since 2009, China has strengthened environmental protection legislation and supervision, and has begun to implement environmental protection and reduce energy consumption in the process of business management. Implementing green supply chain has become an important goal(Luo et al., 2015) .To motivate the companies to participate in the green supply chain, the government has provided subsides for remanufacturers( Albared, 2008). Increasingly stringent laws and regulations as well as rising public environmental awareness have forced the world’s leading business giants to work with upstream and downstream companies to build green supply chains (Sancha et al., 2016). As early as 2001, Volkswagen and Ford, two major global automakers, announced the implementation of green supply chain management which required suppliers and business partners to be ISO14001 certified by July 2003 and December 2002(Kushwaha et al., 2016). Adidas, a leading manufacturer of athletic wear, uses MMVEA and Eco-Grip technology to reduce harmful substances from materials used in manufacturing to minimize the manufacturing impact on environment. It can be seen that the establishment of collaboration between upstream and downstream enterprises by implementing green supply chains is an irreversible trend.
