The Green Supply Chain Management is the concept that involves applications of environmental issues along with the corporate social responsibility in each and every sector incorporated in the traditional supply chain management. Moreover, it is applicable in the real sense in every corporation of all sectors including the agribusiness sector. This paper involves a gist about the scope of the GSCM in actual sense that could be practiced in the large corporations in India and about the practices adopted in the ITC Ltd along with Aditya Group. Apparently, this is an exploratory study that would trigger and encourage the implementation of GSCM in FMCG sector as well as agribusiness sector. It also advocates the applicability of GSCM in every sector so as to build confidence in all associated entities of the business corporations- customers, stakeholders, shareholders, and employees. GSCM as a whole is a novel concept that incorporates effective applications of technology such that it fulfils the oath of maintaining environmental and social integrity in an equitable manner.

Moreover, it is applicable in the real sense in every corporation of all sectors including the agribusiness sector. This paper involves a gist about the scope of the GSCM in actual sense that could be practiced in the large corporations in India and about the practices adopted in the ITC Ltd along with Aditya Group. Apparently, this is an exploratory study that would trigger and encourage the implementation of GSCM in FMCG sector as well as agribusiness sector. It also advocates the applicability of GSCM in every sector so as to build confidence in all associated entities of the business corporations- customers, stakeholders, shareholders, and employees. GSCM as a whole is a novel concept that incorporates effective applications of technology such that it fulfils the oath of maintaining environmental and social integrity in an equitable manner.
