“…Extant literature reveals the importance of government regulations in greening of the supply chains (Green, Morton & New, 1996;Min & Galle, 2001;Walton et al, 1998;Beamon, 1999;Hall, 2001;Pun, Hui, Lau, Law & Lewis, 2002;Nagel, 2003;Zhu, Sarkis & Geng, 2005;Walker, Sisto & McBain, 2008;Lee, 2008;Qadri, Haleem & Arif, 2011). The latest government policies prohibit production of goods using environmentally destructive materials and polluting 'bodies' for promoting green practices (Luthra et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:Purpose: The study aims to identify and rank the major strategies that help achieve successful implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in Indian manufacturing industry.Design/methodology/approach: Strategies to implement GSCM have been identified thorough extensive literature review and then experts' opinion is sought for categorizing them into four representative dimensions which are then ranked using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Findings:The study categorizes the GSCM implementation strategies into four dimensionsNon members of supply chain, downward stream supply chain Members, Organizational members of supply chain and upward stream supply chain members. These dimensions are found to play an important role in greening the supply chains enabling the practicing firms achieve enhanced operational performances. opinion of the experts drawn from academia and industry. As is natural, opinions of experts may not always be free from bias or prejudices. Moreover, the study relied more on the GSCM practices literature in developed nations as only limited literature related to the undertaken work in the Indian context was available. Research limitations/implicationsPractical implications: This paper may play important role in understanding various strategies and ranking them in order of importance. This facilitates firms prioritize different actions for achieving high GSCM performances in Indian manufacturing industry. Strategic implementation of green supply chain management will help Indian manufacturing enterprises enjoy cost and efficiency benefits.Originality/value: GSCM is a relatively new topic for majority of Indian manufacturing industries.This work is likely to help GSCM practitioners select suitable strategies in consonance with the government regulations and customers' requirements.

“…In view of shorter product lifecycles and more quantities of waste due to expansion of high-tech industries, many firms have paid higher attention to environmental protection by seeking effective GSCM measures, including improving the management of raw material purchases, increasing efforts to promote recycling, reuse, and remanufacturing, and providing green packaging alternatives (Geyer and Jackson, 2004;Hanna and Newman, 1995). These measures provide businesses with numerous opportunities to achieve sustainable competitiveness through the reduction of environmental damage (Green et al, 1996;Narasimhan and Carter, 1998).…”

This study examines how green operations affect firm's environmental performance with green innovation as a mediator in the context of electronic industry. We carry out an empirical study with 141 valid questionnaires collected from high-tech manaufactures in Taiwan. The results show that positive relationships exist among green operations, green innovation and environmental performance (in both operational performance and managerial performance). However, an integration of green operations with green innovation would influence firm's environmental performance more positively than the sole effects of green operations. It suggests that high-tech manufacturers should pay greater attention to green innovative strategies in order to cope with customer demand and, thereby, enhancing customer satisfaction and sustainable operations. This study has contributed to the extant literature by providing valuable academic references and pragmatic guidelines for firms to gain competitive advantages through green operations and green innovation.

With superlative growth in the number of small organizations over the past two decades, the impact caused to environment due to higher production output is also immense. Most governments are continuously taking measures to mitigate the risks associated with industrial growth. One such measure is to implement green practices throughout the supply chain. Since small organizations are important part of supply chain and a major contributor of industrial output they also need to implement green supply chain practices. This paper aims to find out important enablers for green supply chain management (GSCM) from the view point of micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process methodology has been used to rank the enablers, three important enablers were identified viz. top management commitment and finance, government support and regulations and recycling and reuse efforts. Managers of small organizations can benefit immensely by focusing on implementing these practices in their organizations.
