 Abstract

Supply chain management is crucial to enhancing and implementing a firm's competitive edge. The identification of environmental advantages and performance by businesses is crucial for spreading awareness of such activities among small-, medium-, and large-sized enterprises (SMEs). Digitalization and environmental sustainability have evolved into the hallmarks of social and economic progress. The study demonstrates the application of digital technology in the entire supply chain, eventually saving the energy, reducing emissions and protecting the environment. The digital technologies impacting the green supply chain performance are investigated in this study. The report also covers how these technologies can lower resource and energy input as well as pollutant emissions, enhancing the green supply chain's operational efficiency and bringing about positive effects on the economy, society, and the environment. Digital technology was considered in five categories, namely Big Data, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. The impact of these technologies on green supply chain is evaluated using the quantitative causal models. The research examined the impact of various digital technologies used by the industries on the green supply chain initiative. Quantitative method to study the causal relationships through hypothesis testing was used, which provided the empirical results of impact of different constructs. Responses from different category of industries including automobiles, textiles, paper, chemical, steel, etc. were obtained and analyzed for the contribution of each digital technology on the green supply chain management in Industries.
