Abstract
The prevailing business methods have a strong focus on environmental sustainability. To that aim, the rising concern about environmental issues in the supply chain has sparked the growth of green supply chains. Organizations are also highly interested in planning and implementing green strategies. In that case, the innovative approach is labeled as the primary driver of change from traditional to green in the supply chain. Therefore, environmental sustainability innovations are examined in this chapter as the forces behind the green supply chain in organizations. 172 waste management and recycling companies are the samples of the study, where path analysis with partial least squares-based structural equation modeling was conducted to test the hypotheses. The findings demonstrate a strong connection between green supply chains and improvements in resource conservation, energy reduction, managing environmental communication, and pollution.
