Greening the supply chain: a new initiative in South East Asia
Abstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
