STORIES
 • While there are many benefits to
green supply chain management, there
are also challenges associated with
implementing these practices. One of
the biggest challenges is the need for
collaboration and cooperation across
the entire supply chain. This requires
buy-in from suppliers, manufacturers,
distributors, and retailers.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT accurate data and metrics to track
progress and measure success. This
can be difficult to obtain, especially
when dealing with complex global
supply chains. Finally, there may be
additional costs associated with
implementing green practices, such as
investing in new technologies or
training employees on new processes.
 • Despite the challenges, many
companies have successfully
implemented green supply
chain management practices.
One example is Walmart, which
has made significant strides in
reducing its environmental
impact through initiatives such
as sustainable sourcing and

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT • Another example is Patagonia,
which has implemented a
closed-loop supply chain for its
clothing products. This involves
