Abstract: The past decade saw an increasing development and improvement of green supply chain, but the environmental performances cannot be achieved by single enterprises. Therefore, it is necessary to find out the influencing factors that hinder the cooperation of green supply chain, so as to make full use of these influencing factors to improve environmental performance. In consultation with supply chain management practitioners and academics, this paper establishes a set of 19 influencing factors for green supply chain cooperation among Chinese manufacturers The corporate social responsibility as internal effect and external stakeholder concern as external effect is considered in this study and the interpreted structural model (ISM) method is used to analyze the interaction among these influencing factors and its impact on green supply chain cooperation. This study aims to identify the most significant impacts on environmental issues with supply chain partners and to understand how these impacts can help improve the environmental performance throughout the supply chain.
