Abstract

Green supply chain management (GSCM) practices help a firm to become eco-friendly, socially responsible, meet customer expectations, deal with industry peer-pressure and comply with government regulations (Luthra, 2014). GSCM refers to the management of all activities involved in sourcing, purchasing, manufacturing, transportation and distribution of products and services to customers in an eco-friendly way (Sharma, 2013). A conceptual framework of GSCM is presented that consists of eco-friendly organizational culture, collaborative relationships, innovative products and eco-friendly processes (Mutingi, 2013). A SWOT analysis for context specific implementation strategies for global GSCM is presented (Lee and Chen, 2010). The contribution of GSCM practices to a firm's performance is discussed (Laisirihongthong et al., 2013). The critical success factors required to achieve GSCM include top management commitment, government regulations, environment protection literacy and compliance among the supply chain partners, and ISO14001 certification (Jain and Sharma, 2014).
