Abstract
Green supply chain management (GSCM) focuses on reduction of the adverse impacts of supply chain activities as well as a minimisation of energy and material usage. A successful implementation of GSCM is important for industries to increase economic-environmental performances. However, the GSCM adoption rate in Indian companies, particularly in the mining sector is not encouraging. There exists a set of factors that enhances GSCM adoption while others offer resistance to it. An attempt has been made to empirically test the relationship of various factors on GSCM implementation considering data collected from 144 respondents working in Indian mining industries, in which it was found that there is no difference in perception regarding the barriers of GSCM implementation. GSCM adoption in mining industries is initiated by factors like: 'society pressure', 'regulative pressure', 'investors' pressure' and 'eco-literacy among supply chain partners'. Further, practices like 'organising', 'initial environmental review' and 'continuous improvement' enhance GSCM effectiveness.
