This chapter aims to analyze the practice of green supply chain management and organization performance in manufacturing industries of Kathmandu valley. This study uses descriptive research design. Two hundred and seven manufacturing industries in three industrial estates (Balaju, Bhaktapur, and Patan) of Kathmandu valley were taken as a sample for the study whereas all 245 operating industries were the population of the study. The findings revealed that 33.3% of industries are highly practicing green supply management chain whereas 23.7% and 19.6% are practicing it moderately and less, respectively. It was found that industries of all scale—large, medium, and low—are equally practicing green supply management chain to a greater extent. Thus, the study concludes that manufacturing industries ought to consider the systemic interaction between the internal and external facets of the application of the GSCM and to ensure that their respective operations are integrated in order to achieve improved environmental and organizational efficiency and consequently to achieve economic benefits.

PurposeSmall and medium enterprises (SMEs) of Indian clothing industry have become one of the most important cogs of global fashion supply chain. However, the implementation of green practices is still in the nascent stage. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the important barriers of green supply chain management in Indian clothing SMEs.Design/methodology/approachA total of 36 barriers related to green supply chain management (GSCM) practices were identified through exhaustive literature review. Then ten important barriers were shortlisted through questionnaire survey among supply chain practitioners using five-point Likert scale. Finally, interpretive structural modeling technique was used to decipher the contextual relationships among these barriers.FindingsComplexity of green process and system design and lack of support from regulatory authorities were found to be the barriers having the maximum driving power. Lack of consumer support and high investment and low economic benefits were also found to be important barriers in the way of green practices implementation in clothing SMEs. In contrast, lack of reward systems for suppliers, uncertainty of green outcome, lack of green materials, process and technology and lack of flexibility to switch over to green system were the dependent barriers.Originality/valueThe important barriers of GSCM practices in Indian clothing SMEs have been identified and analyzed. The finding will be helpful in making the Indian clothing SMEs environmentally sustainable by eliminating the important barriers.

Environmental problems are one of the major concerns in China due to booming industries and large-scale production. Manufacturing industries must change the traditional approaches of production and supply chain management practices to cope with environmental issues. For this purpose, a multidisciplinary and empirical study has been conducted in China. In the manufacturing industries around the world, there is a noticeable transition in human resource management approaches toward green human resource management (GHRM). However, green training could be considered as a critical element of GHRM and could be used as an instrument to trigger emotional intelligence (EI) of the employees, which could make them more responsible toward the external environment and result in improved green supply chain management (GSCM) practices. Similarly, regulatory pressures could also enforce manufacturing industries to contribute positively to GSCM practices. In addition, taking into account the two critical functions of GSCM practices, that is, green purchasing and eco-design, this research study attempted to bring under consideration that GSCM practices could be enhanced through EI as well. For this purpose, data were collected from 250 manufacturing industries of China through a convenient sampling technique, and structural equation modeling was applied through Smart-PLS version 3.2.7 to measure and validate the model of this study. The findings of the study revealed that GSCM practices could be improved through regulatory pressures, and EI could be used as a mediating factor to enhance the relationship between GHRM (green training) and GSCM practices.
