Abstract

The business world is currently abhorrent to the idea of going green, and the majority of organizations plan a strong emphasis on improving operational performance while also being aware of the impact on the environment. As one of the most important business advancements in the manufacturing industry, green supply chain management has emerged recently. However, the implementation of green supply chain management practices in manufacturing companies is a difficult process that is affected by different factors. Therefore, this research aims to study the factors affecting the implementation of green supply chain management practices. By adopting a deductive approach and quantitative survey method and using a self-administered questionnaire data were collected, the sample was 181 functional, staff, executive, and top-level managers of 12 manufacturing companies located in the central province, of Sri Lanka. Both simple random and convenient sampling techniques were used in this study. The questionnaire was distributed as a google form and hard copy and only 175 responses were accepted. Version 21.0 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software was used to analyze the data. The results of correlation and regression analysis highlighted, there was a positive statistically significant relationship and impact between independent and dependent variables except top management commitment and customer pressure. Further the study identified supplier performance as the greatest explanatory factor of the implementation of green supply chain management practices.
