Abstract

Environmental sustainability has become a critical concern for organizations worldwide, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are the lifeblood of many economies, in recent years. We present a mini review on SMEs adoption of green supply chain management practices. The research seeks to understand how SMEs embed sustainability into their supply chains, whether that be as part of procurement, production, distribution or disposal. By employing a mixed-methods approach consisting of quantitative surveys as well as qualitative interviews with SME managers, the research outlines the studied drivers, barriers and benefits of GSCM. The results indicate that although financial limitations and insufficient technical know-how are major challenges, SMEs which implement eco-friendly practices experience increased operational efficiencies, improved brand reputation, and increased regulatory compliance. Strategy recommendations (Sukhoo and Rampersad, 2023). As the GSCM is an enabler for achieving sustainable competitive advantage for SMEs, the paper ends by providing both policy-makers and stakeholders in the micro-enterprise space recommendations that would facilitate improved integration of GSCM practices across supply chains, accrual of GSCM health benefits, which can only serve to strengthen the sustainability and competitive advantage of SMEs.
