Green Supply Chain Management Effects Outline
Abstract
Introduction
In the business world, the increase in biodiversity and global warming has resulted in the concern for a green supply chain for sustainability (Tseng et al., 2019). The incorporation of green supply management in the supply chain improves environmental performance. Most of the environmental degradation and over-exploitation of natural resources happens in the supply chain requiring organizations to focus their attention on ways of combating the degradation. Including the green concept involves integrating ecological and environmental concerns in the supply chain. Green supply chain management impacts corporate sustainability in social,economic and ecological dimensions. Therefore, the paper focuses on the green supply chain effects on today’s business environment performance.

Green supply management is essential for sustainability and reduces the negative environmental impact, ensures continuity of supply, protects reputation damage, attracts new partners and wins more businesses (Nutburn, 2019).
Methodology
