A Literature Review to Identify Drivers and Barriers Affecting the Adoption of Green Practices for Indian Manufacturing Companies.

Abstract

Environmental concerns are an increasingly important issue for many businesses for sustainable development. A supply chain with eco-friendly practices is called a 'Green supply chain' and is commonly observed in most manufacturing companies today. The present study provides an overview of the factors influencing the adoption of green practices by Indian manufacturing companies, including both drivers and barriers. Approximately 260 papers from various journals in the field of green supply chain management were collected to conduct this review to identify the major drivers responsible for implementing green practices and the associated challenge. This review has contributed to identifying the research gap concerning the necessity to explore the key factors influencing the Indian retail manufacturing sector. The study assists organizations in recognizing both the drivers and obstacles that affect the effective and enduring implementation of green manufacturing practices. Embracing these processes is increasingly vital for organizations aiming for sustainability, as well as for comprehending the factors that are propelling the swift transition towards green practices.
