Abstract

AbstractThis paper describes the development and need of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in manufacturing companies and how it gradually is trending towards Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in leading Indian manufacturing companies. Through elaborate literature review, the various work in the area of sustainability and GSCM have been observed and reflections on the origin of GSCM at global level have been collated. India is seemingly catching up on this global trend and so the paper gives a look out on the Indian government policies and commitment towards sustainability. The paper then synthesises on sustainability reports (2018–19) of top 10 manufacturing companies in India to check on the seriousness and extent of work being carried out by these companies who are supposedly the flag bearers of manufacturing industry in India. Finally, a discussion elaborates on the benefits of sustainability and GSCM as well as the challenges in implementing them in manufacturing environment with reference to India. In the last a conclusion is derived along with a summary to share the related observations and suggestions.KeywordsChain managementManufacturing companies
