Buyer Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Environmental Governance and Supplier Environmental Controversies: An Organizational Information Processing and Signaling

Research indicates that the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled environmental governance by global buyers can effectively reduce environmental controversies among their overseas suppliers. This effect is analyzed through the lenses of organizational information processing theory and signaling theory, suggesting that such governance mechanisms help mitigate risks associated with supply chain environmental issues.

This research highlights the potential of AI as a tool for enhancing environmental performance and mitigating risk within complex global supply chains. For organizations operating internationally, leveraging AI in governance can lead to improved supplier accountability and reduced exposure to environmental disputes, thereby safeguarding reputation and operational continuity.

Environmental controversies within global supply chains represent significant risks for global buyers.
