Sustaniability Supply Chain in Indian Scenario

Green supply chain management is an activity of utilizing environmentally safe inputs and transforming these inputs into outputs which can be recycled and reused fashioning a supply chain that is sustainable environmental friendly. These days, most businesses organizations are moving towards sustainability as a concern to environmental issues by going green in their business operations. Green supply chain management intends to reduce or get rid of, hazardous chemical waste, emissions and solid waste along supply chain at the product design level, resourcing of the material and manufacturing, delivery of the product. Green Supply Chain Management includes Green purchasing, Green Manufacturing, and Green Distribution and Reverse logistics. A hypothetical model linking the relationship between GSCM practices, environmental collaboration and sustainability performance is proposed. Present study outlines the need of GSCM and few ways have been recommended that will facilitating the pursuit of the GSCM.  There is a demand to spread the GSCM knowledge among the Indian organisations, which will positively contribute to enhance the economic performance and on the other hand successfully curtail environmental pollution. According to the theoretical model as purposed in this study there is an important need to maintain deep rooted synergic alliances  at inter and intra organisation level that aids the organisation in adoption GSCM. Although the purposed model is beneficial but further research and improvements are needed before being applied to the manufacturing companies
