Abstract

To improve the sustainability performance of corporations in light of growing environmental concerns and stakeholder demands, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has become an essential tactic. the function of GSCM in advancing sustainability through the incorporation of ecological concerns into all stages of the supply chain, beginning with product conception and sourcing and continuing through production, delivery, and disposal. Sustainable sourcing, environmentally friendly packaging, waste minimisation, and energy efficiency are some of the important practices that lead to better economic and environmental results, as can be seen from case studies and empirical research across different industries. In addition to lowering their environmental effect, organisations who adopt GSCM methods save money, boost their reputation, and encourage innovation. Nevertheless, difficulties in implementing GSCM effectively include supply chain complexity, a lack of standardised measurements, and opposition to change. companies to conquer these obstacles and make the most of GSCM to generate sustainable growth and a competitive edge in the long run.
