Due to increasing awareness about environmental conservation and stringent rules and regulations regarding disposal of industrial waste engineers and researchers are striving hard to implement green practices in manufacturing industries. In this research the critical factors known as drivers creating hindrance in order to put green supply chain management into practice. GSCM in manufacturing industries have been identified using various techniques i.e. ISM – DEMATEL and through interaction with industry experts and questionnaire surveys. At present, the drivers of GSCM can prominently play an important role in India because Indian industries are showing growing care for the environment. The main objective of this study is to determine crucial drivers helpful for implementation of GSCM in leather industries. This research will not only help to reduce/reuse/recycle the waste generated but also conserve energy which is the need of hour. It is further observed that DEMATEL-ISM is an effective and powerful tool for estimating the relevant relationships among various drivers in an uncertain environment. It has been concluded that environmental concern and regulation (D2) is the most influencing driver through DEMATEL technique while ISM technique provides poor organizational culture in implementing GSCM (D12) as the most influencing driver. The information provided in this paper is useful for decision maker in an industry to implement GSCM to enhance the efficiency without polluting the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
