| dc.description.abstract | The growing global concern for environmental sustainability has driven organizations to
integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations, giving rise to the concept of Green Supply
Chain Management (GSCM). This thesis explores the implementation and effectiveness of
GSCM practices within Anwar Group of Industries, one of Bangladesh’s leading industrial
conglomerates. The study examines how the company incorporates environmental
considerations into its procurement, production, distribution, and waste management
processes. Through a mixed-method approach—combining qualitative interviews with key
management personnel and quantitative analysis of operational data—the research identifies
the key drivers, challenges, and outcomes of adopting GSCM practices. Findings reveal that
Anwar Group’s green initiatives have not only reduced carbon emissions and resource
consumption but also improved brand image, cost efficiency, and compliance with national
and international environmental standards. However, challenges such as limited technological
infrastructure, high implementation costs, and lack of supplier cooperation continue to impede
broader adoption. The study concludes that a stronger commitment to sustainable innovation,
coupled with government incentives and stakeholder engagement, is essential for enhancing
the long-term success of green supply chain initiatives in Bangladesh’s industrial sector. This
case study contributes valuable insights into how traditional manufacturing firms in developing
economies can transition toward sustainable and competitive business models. | en_US |
