Abstract

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has become a key means of pursuing environmental sustainability, resource efficiency, and competitive advantage. While Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) account for much of the world's economic growth, they also face unique challenges and opportunities so far as adoption is concerned. In this connection, the chief driving forces for GSCM adoption by SMEs. Government control and market request; greater efficiency in terms of resources saved; corporate social responsibility; and the growing realization of environmental impacts. Input of this kind from both official non-governmental agencies acts to activate further activity in the field. There are also a number of obstacles which deter SMEs from applying GSCM. These include financial constraints, technical know-how lacking, lack of awareness and information, the status quo of fear to change which is not conducive for growth. In addition there is insufficient support for procurers from other segments in the supply chain.
