Abstract

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become one of the most promising tools in reducing environmental hazards of many industries. Selection of indicators and its implementation needs good decision making. The expanded consideration given to the subject of GSCM warrants the composition of this paper. The idea of GSCM is to incorporate ecological speculation into the gracefully chain the board. This study encompasses the survey of factors affecting GSCM and their priority in productive approach. From the literature, 12 key factors are identified, and these include inbound, outbound, cleaner production and reverse logistics. In this paper, we essentially centre around how much the enterprises are inclined towards the greening of their flexibly chain. So as to know the green status of those ventures, a poll has been created to catch these conspicuous variables on a five-point Likert scale. This poll has been circulated in different Eastern Indian enterprises and filled by the accomplished employees of diverse division. Information has been gathered and investigated utilising a fair examination of fluctuation (ANOVA) strategy. To evaluate the dependability of reactions, Cronbach alpha coefficient has been determined.
