Abstract

The study proposed a construct for a green supply chain, which aims to analyze the different elements that contribute to a network being considered “green.” The study found that there are many types of research done on green products, but very few on green corporations and supply chains. Also, there is a lack of consensus in definitions and previous studies have not examined the inter-relations among the variables that contribute to a supply chain being considered green. The review of the literature reveals the range of factors, from the procurement of raw materials to end customer perceptions which make the supply chain green. In a simple random sampling, 125 responses were collected from Karnataka to explore the interrelations between the factors. The analysis evaluates whether the underlying structure of a green supply chain is uni-dimensional or multi-dimensional. Whether the factors have a hierarchical relationship and are factors independent or correlated, the analysis found that there are four correlated factors without any higher order.
