ABSTRACT This study explores the concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), which integrates environmental thinking into supply chain operations, including product design, material sourcing, manufacturing processes, delivery, and end-of- life product management. The research aims to analyze the drivers, practices, and benefits of GSCM implementation across various industries. It also examines the challenges faced by organizations in transitioning to environmentally friendly supply chain models. Through a review of literature, case studies, and industry data, the study highlights the positive impact of GSCM on organizational performance, regulatory compliance, and environmental sustainability. The findings suggest that adopting green supply chain practices not only reduces environmental footprints but also enhances competitiveness and corporate reputation. This research underscores the importance of strategic planning, innovation, and stakeholder engagement in achieving sustainable supply chain goals.
