Abstract

This research aimed to 1) study ESG implementation, sustainable supply chain management, green supply chain management, and operational efficiency, and 2) study the influence of compliance with ESG policy, sustainable supply chain management, and green supply chain management on operational efficiency of wine importers. The population consisted of 440 wine import business operators in Thailand, obtained from stratified random sampling, with 20 times the 22 observable variables. Data was collected by questionnaires and interviews, and analyzed by structural equation modeling.

The findings revealed that ESG implementation, sustainable supply chain management, green supply chain management, and operational efficiency were all rated at high levels. The structural equation model demonstrated a good fit with the empirical data (Chi-Square = 94.857, df = 75, Relative Chi-square = 1.282, p-value = .052, GFI = .966, AGFI = .937, RMSEA = .030, RMR = .007). The results suggest that entrepreneurs should prioritize systematic environmental management, operate in accordance with established policies, comply with international standards, and learn from successful role-model organizations. Additionally, organizations should train personnel to understand environmentally friendly processes, promote cross-functional collaboration, create product differentiation, and improve raw material importation, production, and distribution processes to align with environmental policies. These strategies enhance organizational competitiveness and support sustainable long-term growth.
