Abstract
There's tending need for integrating environmentally good options into supply chain management exploration and practices. The green supply chain management it's also called as sustainable supply chain management(SSCM) is a kind of ultramodern operation mode which could exhaustively consider the environmental influence and resource application effectiveness in the whole supply chain and how to apply the green supply chain management in artificial operations. the part of the green factors are involved in diligence force chain conditioning from the procurement of the raw material to the transportation of the final products. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices have emerged as a critical strategy for businesses aiming to improve their environmental performance while maintaining profitability. This research explores the implementation of GSCM practices across industries, focusing on strategies such as sustainable sourcing, eco-design, green logistics, and waste reduction. The study highlights the importance of integrating environmental considerations into the supply chain process, emphasizing collaboration between suppliers, manufacturers, and customers. By analysing various case studies and industry examples, this paper identifies key drivers, barriers, and challenges in adopting GSCM, including regulatory pressures, cost considerations, and technological advancements. The research also examines the role of government policies and consumer demand in shaping the adoption of green practices. The findings suggest that successfull implementation of GSCM not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also offers
economic benefits such as cost savings, brand differentiation, and enhanced corporate reputation. Ultimately, the study provides recommendations for businesses seeking to adopt or enhance their green supply chain practices,
underlining the necessity for a strategic, integrated approach to achieve long-term sustainability goals.
