The Green Bullwhip Effect: How are environmental requirements from markets transmitted to upstream supply chains?
Global environmental regulations shifting emphasis towards the actual products have led manufacturers to expand their attention to the entire forward and reverse supply chains. A distortion of environmental regulatory information appears in the form of a moved-up compliance deadline and more stringent standards. This observed phenomenon is named the green bullwhip effect as an analogy of the bullwhip effect. The authors searched two possible causes for the green bullwhip effect: lead times and risk management. The green bullwhip effect might to apply to explain similar phenomena found in sustainable supply chain management and supply chain for responding climate change.
