Savita Verma, Postgraduate Researcher, Management

Savita Verma is a postgraduate researcher looking at employee green behaviours in a supply-chain context. She has just submitted her PhD titled: “Unravelling employee engagement for environmentally sustainable supply chains.”

Savita researches supply chain employees’ perceptions of their role in integrating sustainability in supply chain practices (logistics, procurement, manufacturing, etc.). To identify supply chain employees’ involvement and conceptualise their environmental behaviours she has conducted an inductive qualitative case study research. She has developed a theoretical framework which delineates the psychological processes of employees' engagement in different types of green behaviours.

Dr Chee Yew Wong, Professor, Management

Dr Chee Yew Wong is a professor of supply chain management at Leeds University Business School. He researches how firms use information exchange and collaboration to improve environmental, cost and commercial performance. He uses organizational information processing, integration and elaboration theories to explain how firms use information exchange and collaboration to achieve green product and process innovation. He examines whether the adoption multiple green supply chain management practices can lead to multiple performance benefits, and whether the benefits are asymmetric between suppliers and customers.
