Abstract
Environmental deterioration, growing concerns regarding climate change, and governmental rules and regulations introduced a relatively new concept to common industry practices: sustainable supply chain management. Introducing sustainability to the supply chain initiatives is a result of some key drivers. In order to analyze the drivers of environmentally benign supply chain practices, an industrial survey was conducted. According to the research supported by the survey responses, there are seven major drivers that mainly contribute to the successful adoption of sustainability into existing supply chains. The results highlight the major drivers that industry might focus when making sustainable and ecological progress an actuality in their current supply chain operations. This paper is also helpful in understanding mutual influence of drivers, it helps in identifying those drivers which support other drivers as well as those drivers which are most influenced by other drivers(dependent) using interpretative structural modeling (ISM) and its classifies these drivers depending upon their driving and dependency on power.
