A STUDY ON FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Abstract
One idea that attempts to address the environmental aspect of sustainable development is "green supply chain management." The choice to implement a green strategy is influenced by a variety of circumstances, and it is also a crucial indicator of how widely its practices are being adopted. This descriptive study was conducted to identify the factors associated with green supply chain management in the manufacturing industry. A sample of 110 respondents was selected among the managers, dealers, and distributors for this study. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was employed to identify the factors associated with green supply chain management. The results of this study revealed that Environmentally-friendly Friendly Design, Eco-Friendly Purchasing, Eco-Friendly Manufacturing, Eco-Friendly Marketing, and Environmentally Friendly Logistics are effectively associated with the green supply chain management practice in manufacturing industries.
