Environmental Cost Management from the Perspective of Supply Chain

The traditional environmental cost management model only focus on the monetary capital appreciation, neglects the balance between monetary capital and ecological capital, which does not conform to the sustainable development of the enterprises. Because environmental costs involve product development, production, usage, sales, and scrap, they requires enterprises to rise from the internal manufacturing link to the environmental cost management under the whole life cycle perspective, thus achieve a more effective management and control of environmental costs. The paper will make a detailed analysis of the supply chain environmental cost management, and try to put forward a preliminary theory framework and application methods from the perspective of supply chain, combined with the whole product life cycle and supply chain synergy.
