Abstract
The Industrial Revolution altered the society and also the relationship with the
environment and the society, increasing the natural resources consumption such as the
fossil fuels in order to meet the pace of development of new products introduction. This
has created harmful products from the manufacturing process such as excess carbon
emission, pollution and also depletion of the natural resources which lead to increase
energy prices globally. Lately, concern and focus for the environment has motivated the
manufacturing industry to lead a proactive role towards greener manufacturing practices
and towards more environments sustainable.
With all the issues and challenges facing toward environment sustainability, there
was a need to raise the awareness of the important role of information systems and supply
chain integration in leading towards better environmental performances among all the
manufacturing firms in Malaysia. This study thus carried out to further extend the
research model of green information systems and green supply chain integration
implementation impact towards energy efficiency and low carbon footprint of firms in
Malaysia.
An online survey is administered to manufacturing industry in Malaysia. Total
159 data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling with Smart PLS 3.0.
Analytical results demonstrated that green information systems and green supply chain
integration play a crucial role towards better energy efficiency and low carbon footprint.
This study presents the practical implication for practitioners which underlined a need to
greening their supply chain integration and information systems.
