Investigating the Green Supply Chain Management in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Green supply chain management is a collection of eco-friendly management techniques designed to make businesses run more effectively and sustainably. Each good and procedure along the supply chain, from obtaining raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and delivering it, is assessed for sustainability and ecological impact. Green supply chain management (GSCM) seeks methods to limit waste and environmental impact, preserve resources, and lower the carbon footprint of goods and services. In this context, finding out how well Saudi Arabian companies can apply sustainable supply chain management techniques is the main purpose of this study. Additionally, it discusses the obstacles and constraints that affect the adoption of green practices as well as the level of environmental supply chain management knowledge within these organisations. The study will assess the present practices of GSCM in Saudi Arabia as well as the understanding or consciousness of Saudi Arabian companies regarding environmentally friendly supply chain management. The findings of the research revealed that in contemporary Saudi Arabian businesses, green supply chain management approaches are becoming increasingly intricate and nuanced. Delays in projects and other associated challenges related to the adoption of technology have prompted concerns about the trend towards digitisation in the industries. Briefly, the study demonstrates that the application of blockchain technology, along with great communication and creativity, may effectively handle the issues in a more focused way.
