Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to propose an Ethico-Religious green supply chain management (GSCM) view grounded in Islamic teachings design to govern human beings working in the industries. Design/methodology/approach - This study adopts a qualitative approach that used the semi-structured-interview method as a research instrument. Three experts researching various aspects of Islam were consulted to identify Islamic teachings related to green supply chain practices. Findings - This study identifies several verses of the Holy Quran and the hadiths (a collection of traditions containing the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) related to GSCM. It proposes these teachings as pro-environmental ethical codes. Research limitations/implications - The proposed model has not been tested empirically. Future studies can consider an empirical test to find the possible effect of ethical codes on human behavior. Originality/value - This study contributes to the literature in several ways. First, it presents an Ethico-Religious GSCM view that is new in the literature. Second, it extends the key premise of the natural resource-based view theory for achieving superior competitive advantage. Finally, it proposes a human governance approach useful for achieving firms’ environmental goals. This paper is helpful for managers who will find a human governance model supported by the Ethico-Religious GSCM view.
