Abstract: Green supply chain management (GSCM) has gained attention due to rising environmentalism. This study aimed to analyse the role of all GSCM components as a whole. Systems theory is used to understand the effect of green supply chain technological dimensions, GSCM strategy, and GSCM process on the firm performance. The study further examined the moderating role of product complexity, purchasing structure, and cost reduction. The analysis was performed through partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) based on the data collected from 273 employees working in the Pakistani automobile manufacturing industry. The empirical findings indicated the positive impact of GSCM technical aspects on GSCM strategy, which further positively influenced the green supply chain process. Furthermore, the GSCM process had a positive relationship with firm performance. The analysis did not validate the moderating role of product complexity on the strategy and process. The study provides a detailed description of GSCM using the lens of system theory. Moreover, the results provide decision-makers with an enhanced understanding of the GSCM components.
