Abstract: Green supply chain strategy is a concept that is gaining popularity rapidly in South African region. For many organisations, it is a process to exhibit their sincere commitment to sustainability. This paper endeavours to examine the critical green and supplier relationship practices on which management should focus in order to enhance supply chain performance. The systematic analysis based on total interpretive structural modelling is a better methodology to identify the inter-relationships among green strategy and supplier relationship practices. The approach extends the domain of green supply chain research and produce theories that have greater explanatory power than the current practices.
