green procurement, green production, green logistics, green supply chain managementAbstract
The goal of the study is to examine the effects of green procurement, green production and green logistics on overall performance of green supply chain management. Pakistan is a country where green practices are still rare and environmental performance of the organizations needs to be focused. In the given backdrop it is a dire need that gaps are identified, and organizations should strategize their role and environmental responsibility and set benchmarks for the sustainable businesses as well as betterment of the society. A prescribed questionnaire with close ended questions was designed to collect data from various sector of Pakistan industries. The nature of this study is quantitative; simple random sampling is used and the sample size is set to 325 respondents. Reliability test, exploratory factor analysis followed by regression analysis were carried out by using SPSS. Results showed that there are positive and significant relationships of green procurement, green production and green logistics on overall performance of green supply chain management. The results are further elaborated in the respective sections of this research with some concrete recommendations. This research may be of great help in implementation of green practices in large organizations as well as SMEs and will ultimately benefit the all stakeholders, environment and will provide long-term sustainability.
