The growing interest in the Management of Eco-Friendly Supply Chains warrants this study. Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an approach to supply chain management (SCM) that takes into account environmental factors. Therefore, GSCM is vital in shaping the cumulative environmental effect of businesses engaged in supply chain operations. In addition, GSCM may help improve the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives. Manufacturing companies, particularly in developing nations like India, are trying to adjust essential procedures and supply chains because of the rising need to be ecologically sustainable. However, such efforts must be deployed strategically to be ecologically sustainable and economically successful. As a result, this study focuses on the relationship between green supply chain management and education that affect environmental sustainability and economic performance. As a further step toward more sustainable development, the mediating function of education is sustainable economic growth and environmental health. The data was collected by distributing a well-crafted questionnaire to manufacturing facilities in India. We employed PLS-SEM to analyze and interpret the data test hypotheses based on data from 415 replies. The findings point to cost and profit as the primary metrics of corporate success. Disposal of trash, usage of resources, and release of greenhouse gases are alternative measures of environmental sustainability. Distributed online links and in-person interviews with employees at companies throughout India who use GSCM procedures provided the basis for the study's primary data set. The data was gathered with the use of an organized survey form. The findings of tests conducted on the hypotheses were considered. According to this research, cost, profit, waste, resource, and GHG emission impacts vary depending on which GSCM techniques are implemented. Green supply chain management strategies significantly affect price, trash disposal, resource utilization, and GHG emissions. There was no discernible trend between GSCM methods and financial success. In addition to discussing the unique elements of sustainable supply chains and the limits of current research, this article also discusses how a company's bottom line will benefit monetarily from establishing a sustainable supply chain. This should inspire more study in this area. Our investigation revealed patterns and voids, and we used that information to outline a thorough plan for future GSCM studies. The research helps manufacturing company management improve their sustainable policies while providing policymakers with pointers.
对生态友好型供应链管理的日益关注促使本研究应运而生。绿色供应链管理(GSCM)是一种考虑环境因素的供应链管理方法。因此,GSCM 对于塑造从事供应链运营业务的企业的累积环境影响至关重要。此外,GSCM 可能有助于提高可持续发展举措的有效性。制造企业,尤其是像印度这样的发展中国家的制造企业,正在努力调整基本流程和供应链,因为越来越需要在生态上保持可持续性。然而,这种努力必须具有战略性,才能在生态上保持可持续性并在经济上取得成功。因此,本研究侧重于绿色供应链管理与教育之间的关系,这些关系会影响环境可持续性和经济绩效。作为迈向更可持续发展的进一步举措,教育的中介功能是可持续经济增长和环境健康。该数据是通过向印度的制造设施分发精心制作的问卷收集的。我们采用 PLS-SEM 来分析和解释数据,根据来自 415 份回复的数据测试假设。研究结果表明,成本和利润是企业成功的主要指标。垃圾处理、资源利用和温室气体排放是环境可持续性的替代衡量标准。通过在印度各地使用 GSCM 流程的公司的员工在线分发链接和进行面对面访谈,为研究的主要数据集提供了基础。数据是使用组织良好的调查问卷收集的。对假设进行的测试结果被考虑在内。根据这项研究,成本、利润、废物、资源和 GHG 排放的影响因实施的 GSCM 技术而异。绿色供应链管理策略对价格、垃圾处理、资源利用和 GHG 排放有重大影响。GSCM 方法与财务成功之间没有明显的趋势。本文除了讨论可持续供应链的独特要素和当前研究的局限性外,还讨论了公司建立可持续供应链如何从财务上受益。这应该会激发更多这方面的研究。我们的调查揭示了模式和空白,我们利用这些信息为未来的 GSCM 研究制定了全面的计划。该研究有助于制造公司管理层改善其可持续政策,并为政策制定者提供指导。
