摘要：Nowadays, sustainable development has become a subject of focus and concern for governments, organisations, companies, communities as well as individuals. As a result of this, manufacturing companies and industries are the first to receive criticism due to manufacturing activities being assumed to be a major culprit in creating environmental and ecological issues. In the current century, limitations on resources and environmental concerns are one of the main trepidations of industries. Strained by the stress of limited resources, energy and very pressing environmental issues, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) actually revealed that the implications of green practices can save money, reduce cost, increase efficiency, reduce delivery lead time and sustain the business longer. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has appeared as an environmental innovation which integrates environmental concerns into supply chain management. The purpose of this study is to review various literatures about Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) that help to determine the benefit and implications that organizations receive when they implement GSCM practice process. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the initiatives in the GSCM practices and what elements of it enable the improvement of organisational performance and business sustainability. Therefore, manufacturing companies need a comprehensive evaluation system to measure the outcome of the green supply chain activities that are implemented. This study employed the mixed method of research design which combined the qualitative and quantitative methods. From the research on the study, the results showed that green supply chain management practices and its elements can improve organisational performance and help sustain the business. The proposed model may be helpful to some extent for organizations analysing the benefits of investing in Green Supply Chain Management. On a global scale, environmental sustainability is also a trending subject of focus, so further research in the topic will not only help organisations sustain their businesses, but they will be able to sustain the world for better living.
