Abstract
Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has emerged as a key approach for enterprises seeking to become environmentally sustainable. This paper aims to evaluate and describe GSCM drivers, practices and performance among various Indian manufacturing organizations. Based on a literature review, propositions are put forward. An empirical study using survey research was completed. The survey questionnaire was designed with appropriate items using literature and industry expert inputs. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to derive groupings of GSCM drivers, practice and performance from the survey data which included sample responses. A categorical and descriptive nature of the results is then presented with an evaluation and comparative analysis with research findings. Indian enterprises have increased their environmental awareness due to regulatory, competitive and marketing pressures and drivers. However, this awareness has not been translated into strong GSCM practice adoption, let alone into improvements in some areas of performance, where it was expected. The investigation and its findings are still relatively exploratory. Future research can investigate relationships identified in this work, as well as tease out mediating and moderating relationships. A more broadly based and random sample study across India would also provide a better picture of the GSCM situation. Efforts made by Indian enterprises together with the Indian government have established a good foundation for further development. This work is one of the few and pioneering efforts to investigate GSCM practices in the Indian manufacturing sector.
