Government subsidies and corporate green investment optimize green closed-loop supply chains. Subsidies encourage higher green investment, boosting profits and environmental willingness, unlike investment alone.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Environmental Management
- Supply Chain Management
Background:
- Market uncertainties in demand and quality challenge green closed-loop supply chains (GCL-SCS).
- Corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and government differential weight subsidies (GDWS) are key factors influencing GCL-SCS performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To construct a total profit model for GCL-SCS under uncertainty, incorporating CER and GDWS.
- To explore optimal subsidy allocation and green investment levels using incentive-compatibility theory.
Main Methods:
- Fuzzy chance-constrained programming (FCCP) to model uncertainties.
- Genetic algorithm (GA) and CPLEX for finding approximate optimal solutions.
Main Results:
- Enterprises can adapt recycling, production, and sales strategies to demand.
- Without subsidies, higher green investment decreases profits and recycling rates, reducing environmental willingness.
- With optimal subsidies (0.34-0.41 for consumers), higher green investment increases profits, recycling rates, and environmental willingness.
Conclusions:
- Government subsidies are crucial for aligning corporate green investment with environmental goals.
- A combined strategy of government subsidy policy and corporate green investment optimizes GCL-SCS performance and stakeholder utility.
- In uncertain environments, this integrated approach mitigates the limitations of individual strategies.
