Abstract: As resource waste and environmental degradation become increasingly serious, closed-loop supply chains have attracted more and more attention from the public. How to effectively undertake corporate social responsibility (CSR) and alleviate the conflict of closed-loop supply chains has become an urgent task for managers and researchers to resolve. With respect to the coordination problems of closed-loop supply chains led by retailers, based on Stackelberg game theory, we establish some models considering manufacturer’s CSR, exploit them to compare the optimal decisions under centralized and decentralized decisions, explore the impact of CSR on supply-chain decisions, then design a coordination mechanism through two-step pricing.
