- Abstract
The eco-friendly structure of supply chain concentrates on the accountability of an organization in valuing the entire ecological effects of yields through its complete life cycle, from the procurement of raw materials to the final utilization and products disposal. This paper aims to delineate the pressures for espousing greenness in supply chain management among small and medium sized leather industries of northern Tamilnadu. Drivers which aid to implement Green Supply Chain Management are defined via literature review and also from leather industry experts. The quantitative figures were evaluated using regression analysis, correlation and standard deviation. The outcomes of this analysis exposed that a management commitment, green procurement and green marketing methodologies, eco-friendly proposal and environ praxis are not contemplated by the industries to green the entire supply chain (SC) system. Even though the environmental protocols and policies of leather industries are rigorous, the industries are violating the rules because there is no action from concerned boards. This work proposes concerned departments to formulate apt monitoring structure and consolidative supply chain philosophy to restraint the problems and to support balanced economic growth.
