Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the critical drivers and approaches of green supply chain management adoption in small and medium businesses in the food and beverage sector. More specifically, the research incorporates a multiple case study approach by investigating four organizations located in Kosovo that produce and distribute bottled water in the local and other European markets. The Supply Chain Environmental Analysis Tool (SCEnAT) has been used to assess the carbon emissions caused by the activities within the supply chains of these companies. Once the “hotspots” of these supply chains were identified, the authors propose and assess potential interventions that would lower the overall emissions. It also was necessary that insights from companies should be gathered in the form of case studies with interviews and surveys conducted with managers.
