ASSESSMENT OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN AN INDIAN INDUSTRY

In the present scenario, there is a growing need for integrating environmentally sound choices into supply chain management research and practices among the organization. The main objective of this study is to assess the recent literatures of the Green Supply Chain management (GSCM) and also determine the environment concern of this emerging field. The study is focused on development of GSCM strategies which also includes that all the researchers from this review is focused on environmental and social sustainability towards operation management and the supply chain management. The important key that came out of this literature are green design, green management material, green marketing and distribution and reverse logistics. The purpose of this paper is to review the GSCM over the last fifteen years and guidelines to help academicians, researchers, and practitioners in better way to understand integrated GSCM from a wider Perspective. Perusal of the literature shows that a broad frame of reference for green supply-chain management (GSCM) is not adequately developed. Regulatory bodies that formulate regulations to meet societal and ecological concerns to facilitate growth of business and economy also suffer from its absence. This phenomenon is actually a global issue, as the majority of products consumed in developed countries have their raw materials, part of the manufacturing processes, and many other operations located in developing countries. Engaging the supply chain is the key to unlocking a sustainable future. The supply chain is the new frontier in environmental responsibility. Thus an area which is rich, with opportunity that remains mostly unexplored, where a number of pathfinders are starting to show others the value that can be found
