English abstract
The Green supply chain management (GSCM) implementation is becoming a widespread
concept around the world. It increases the awareness to target environment sustainability
while focusing on achieving high-level of performance. This study conducted within Oman's
Oil & Gas industries, intends to explore the influence of GSCM adoption on environmental
performance, a vital aspect of sustainability. Furthermore, the study investigates how the
implementation of internal environmental management effects the adoption of GSCM
practices. Using a quantitative method, the study collected data from 131 participants
through a questionnaire and analyzed by using Smart PLS.
The findings highlight the positive relationship between the implementation of Internal
Environmental Management and the adoption of GSCM activities such as green
manufacturing, green purchasing, and customer collaboration. Notably, in the context of the
oil and gas business, the study finds no significant links between green manufacturing, green
purchasing, and environmental performance, while indicating a moderate influence of
customers collaboration on environmental performance.
This study expands our understanding of the subtle relationships between various GSCM
components and sustainability performance metrics, providing significant insights for
practitioners facing GSCM implementation issues. Furthermore, it contributes to the
knowledge database, laying the groundwork for future research. Aligned with Oman 2040's
vision of a green and circular economy, this research emphasizes sustainable practices, such
as using natural resources wisely to create high added value while maintaining a balance
between environmental, economic, and social needs in accordance with sustainable
development principles.
