With the growing public awareness regarding mining environmental issues, pressure is surmounting on mining industries to reduce their environmental impact. Mining industries also have responded to these pressures by adopting various environmental practices. However green supply chain management (GSCM) has been gaining popularity as it focuses on reduction of environmental impact of the entire supply chain instead of the individual organization. Though strong research evidence exists regarding positive relationship between GSCM practices and improved organizational performance, still most of Indian mining industries are standing on the cross roads of GSCM adoption. The reason is the insufficient knowledge regarding the influential factors of GSCM. It has been found that there is no difference among different mining sectors in perception regarding the barriers of GSCM implementation.

Abstract


With the growing public awareness regarding mining environmental issues, pressure is surmounting on mining industries to reduce their environmental impact. Mining industries also have responded to these pressures by adopting various environmental practices. However green supply chain management (GSCM) has been gaining popularity as it focuses on reduction of environmental impact of the entire supply chain instead of the individual organization. Though strong research evidence exists regarding positive relationship between GSCM practices and improved organizational performance, still most of Indian mining industries are standing on the cross roads of GSCM adoption. The reason is the insufficient knowledge regarding the influential factors of GSCM. It has been found that there is no difference among different mining sectors in perception regarding the barriers of GSCM implementation.
