Abstract: Due to the revolution in green manufacturing for the global market, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) concepts have become an important issue that can play a pivotal role in a company’s competitive advantage and help strategic decision making. GSCM is a concept, by which companies assess their suppliers to improve the environmental performance of their products or production processes of the suppliers. The tide of globalization has also resulted in pressure on multinational firms to improve environmental performance. Due to the increasing realization of the importance of integrating environmental factors into assessing suppliers’ performance, this study developed a model for analyzing the criteria and sub-criteria involved in the implementation of GSCM using an Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) framework. Finally, the proposed model is validated based on a case study involving textile manufacturing industry in southern part of India. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
