Effect of Green Supply Chain Management and Corporate Social Responsibility Practices on Small and Medium Enterprises

Abstract

This article examines the impact of green supply chain management and corporate social responsibility on small and medium-sized enterprises. It emphasizes the importance of sustainability, environmental protection, and social responsibility in achieving economic benefits. Green supply chain management helps establish an environmental image, increase product value, and attract more consumers and investors, enhancing corporate competitiveness. As environmental regulations strengthen, small and medium-sized enterprises face increasing environmental pressure. Green supply chain management reduces resource consumption, environmental impact, and risks, promoting long-term stable development. Corporate social responsibility practices improve a company's social image, visibility, and partnerships with stakeholders, creating favorable conditions for long-term growth. These practices also require continuous innovation and management progress, fostering trust relationships with suppliers, customers, and investors. By implementing these practices, small and medium-sized enterprises can provide a better working environment, improve employee satisfaction, and reduce talent loss. The research results have significant theoretical and practical implications for promoting sustainable development in these enterprises.
