“…The ISM model was developed for supplier selection in manufacturing company, having the build-to-order type supply chain environment (Haq & Kannan, 2006). The ISM methodology was used for modeling the variables affecting in the green supply chain management (Diabat & Govindan, 2011).…”

Manufacturing organizations are under the pressure to give quality products at least cost within the possible minimum delivery time, even during unpredictable economic conditions. Due to competition like improved customer service and cost reduction, organizations are looking for innovative ways for creating competitive advantage. One such way is the effective information sharing among all the members of supply chain. To understand information sharing, we have to know the benefits of information sharing within the supply chain. In this study, on the basis of the relevant available literature and the suggestions of an expert team composed of managerial and technical experts of the manufacturing organization and academicians, eleven information sharing benefits have been diagnosed. An ISM-based model has been formed to study the understanding of the information sharing benefits in adopting the right information sharing within a manufacturing industry. We propose the ISM model, and a MICMAC investigation is applied. Its practical significance is to make use of the decision makers' knowledge to give a fundamental understanding of a complicated situation, followed by a course of actions for problem-solving.

“…These green principles have been expanded to many areas, including supply chains (Chung and Wee, 2008;Lin et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012Wang et al, , 2010. Including the 'green' notion to the 'supply chain' definition generates a new paradigm where the supply chain involves a direct connection to the environment (Diabat and Govindan, 2011;Wang et al, 2010;Zhu and Sarkis, 2006;Eltayeb et al, 2011 …”

The most significant element of the sustainable system depends on their own limits. For instance, Water is the most crucial one of all, since it's a significant input for essentially every industrial production and manufacturing step. This situation symbolizes that there is a limit to the amount of location, water, energy sources and all sources, input elements of the system supported by the world. The sustainability of materials, natural sources are vital needs for the households. What households consume today will not be enough for the next generation. If a product is not used up and throws away rapidly, the consumer needs a new one, and so there are requirements to produce with raw materials and resources again. If the good does not have the capability of being recycled, manufacturers will give damages, harmful to the environmental location. The term "water, energy footprint" and "carbon footprint" is put forward to measure the total volume of carbon dioxide emission and also natural water and energy resources used for manufacturing processes, or used by an individual or a community. All the activities and requirements of the population are caused greenhouse gasses emission. These concepts and results induce the climate change of the world. Regarding to the main subject which is defined in the above, the aim of this research is to investigate some developments which decrease the amount of waste in the industrial production stages and at the end of lifecycle time of products. The purpose of this study is to present a general review of the sustainability literature to decrease the amount of waste and to evaluate the environmental oriented production and consumption by SWOT Analysis; This research involves main concepts of environmental dimension of sustainability that aims to declare the significant of the carbon and water footprint for the ecological life.

“…The internal drivers consist of the commitments from senior management (Zhu and Sarkis, 2004;Lee et al, 2013) driven by company values (Carter and Rogers, 2008), support from senior employees and expected business gains (Diabat and Govindan, 2011). External pressures are regulatory pressures (Azevedo et al, 2011;Laosirihongthong et al, 2013), consumer expectation (Walker and Preuss, 2008;Diabat and Govindan, 2011) and market forces . Organisations practice GSCM due to internal drivers but when firms are incapable of doing so, then motivation or pressures may come from the external environment (Bowen et al (2001) which, however, did not seem to work for SMEs in this study as the empirical findings in this study could not prove significant relationships between external pressures and GSCM practices.…”

“…Much of the debate on GSCM is to determine the drivers, motivations, or pressures in undertaking GSCM initiatives (Diabat and Govindan, 2011;Govindan et al, 2014) and its influences on organisational performances (Green Jr et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2012;Laosirihongthong et al, 2013;Lee, 2015). There is also a growing research in the role of supply chain (SC) collaboration on sustainability (Vachon and Klassen, 2008;Ramanathan et al, 2014;Grekova et al, 2015;Gunasekaran et al, 2015).…”

This paper investigates the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on the performance of UK food retail small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative approach using a nonprobability sampling of 84 participants was employed. Based on the literature review, five hypotheses were developed and tested using the partial least square-structural equation modelling (SEM-Smart PLS 2.03) approach. The reviewed literature revealed that key internal drivers (ID) and external pressures (EP) stimulate organizations to initiate GSCM Practices in UK food retail SMEs. Though empirical findings strongly supported the statement that ID influence GSCM practices but they did not show a significant relationship between EP and GSCM practices. Literature also suggests that practicing GSCM can help improve the efficiency, brand image (BI) and profitability, and thus improve the overall firm performance which is also empirically proved. This study helps enrich existing theories on SCM and organizational performance. As to practical impact, this study should facilitate SMEs in GSCM practices and thus help green the economy. While the findings of this study have limited generalizability as the data were collected from UK SMEs only and the sample size was comparatively small, this research establishes a foundation for further study in this domain.
