Recently, enterprises have started considering Green SCM (Supply Chain Management) for the purpose of securing a competitive advantage over other enterprises because of the increase of international conventions related to the recent climate change, the strengthening of global regulations for environment protection, the demand for environmental suitability by stockholders and investors of enterprises, and the consumer's preference for environmentally friendly products. Green SCM is emerging as the strategy to preemptively cope with environmental regulations. However, many small and medium enterprises are less aware of the necessity of its adoption and are not ready to adopt it. This study investigates green business activities of small-medium enterprises and examines differences across SCM processes.
