Abstract

Green supply chain management (GCSM) has transformed the business approach as a key to becoming environmentally sustainable. This paper aims to evaluate and describe the drivers, practices, and performance of GCSM among various Ecuadorian manufacturing organizations in the province of Tungurahua. The method used originated on the basis of a review of the literature, therefore, an empirical study was completed using surveys. The questionnaire was structured by 54 items according to the validated contributions of experts in the industry. The statistical technique of exploratory factor analysis was used to derive clusters of pressures, practice, and GCSM performance from the survey data that included 314 responses. The findings revealed that Tungurah companies have increased their environmental awareness due to regulatory, competitive, and marketing pressures and drivers. However, this awareness has not translated into strong adoption of the GCSM practice, let alone improvements in some performance areas, where expected.
