Abstract: Abstract Nowadays, sustainable development through green initiatives has received considerable attention in view of global pressure, legislature, consumers’ awareness, environmental policies and societal issues. So, green initiatives have been given much importance by international organizations, national policies, and industries to reduce energy waste, conserve biodiversity and eco-system, and protect the environment. In response, manufacturing organizations are adopting green supply chain management (GSCM) in their supply chain practices to achieve positive outcomes on environmental, social and economic aspects. The GSCM is able to reduce the total negative environmental impact of a manufacturing plant involved in supply chain operations which can contribute to sustainable development and ensure performance enhancement. In this chapter, the background knowledge related to supply chain, supply chain management, and GSCM are introduced.
