Abstract
This exploratory study investigates the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) on the organisational performance of engineering manufacturing company in Sri Lanka, using a case study approach. The study chooses mix-method approach for data collection with combination of semi-structured interviews and secondary data analysis. This study mainly analysed company performance metrics pre- and post-implementation of GSCM practices was conducted. Finding suggest the significant positive correlation between GSCM and environmental performance. Except the green logistic all other GSCM practices positively correlation with OP. Financial gains were evident in reduced costs associated with resource use, environmental accident, and transportation. Non-financial benefits, such as enhanced brand reputation, increased stakeholder satisfaction, wining international orders were also observed.
The results underscore the potential benefits for engineering companies in Sri Lanka to incorporate GSCM practices. Besides tangible financial gains, embracing sustainable and green initiatives can contribute to building a stronger, more resilient, and more respected business model in the engineering sector. Further research could explore challenges and barriers to adopting GSCM to support businesses in transitioning to greener operations.
