Abstract
This chapter presents findings on the greening of the supply chain, which is taking place in the growing manufacturing region that is South East Asia. Empirical research using a survey questionnaire as the research instrument is undertaken for a regional area encompassing the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. The objective of this paper is to present the findings of this survey research which identify major issues in this greening process and business practice. The focus of this chapter, from a larger study, is primarily on the in-bound logistics practices of various South East Asian manufacturing firms.
