Abstract
Green supply chain management (GSCM) has emerged as an organisational philosophy in recent years. GSCM helps organisation and their business to improve competitive advantages and profits. Nevertheless, introducing new green initiatives might require the use of new technologies in supply and production processes, as well as the development of new quality systems. Purchasing-wise, it might need the procurement of new raw materials and affect the supplier selection process. Logistics-wise, it might require new inbound and outbound logistics along with new packaging.
