Abstract: Increasing dependence on suppliers and the high concern for protecting the environment, force modern organisations to green their supply chains. In order to face this challenge, a model for creating lucrative supply chains by greening them is proposed in this paper. A hypothetical case study on this model has been presented to illustrate its working. The results of the t-test conducted during this research indicate the practical feasibility of this model. The paper concludes by stating that significant innovation and research are required in this direction, so that greening of supply chains leads to total prosperity of the organisations.
