Abstract
The global environmental challenges have forced automobile manufacturing firms to implement practices that will reduce their impact on the environment. Over the years eco-friendly concepts have been developed to shift from traditional supply chain management to Green Supply chain management. The current paper attempts to study the Green Supply chain practices adopted by automobile manufacturing firms and their impact on lean supply chain management and the overall performance of the organization. Quantum surveys have been done across various Automobile Organizations, with a sample size of 360 respondents for various automobile organizations. A good model fit was achieved that shows Green Supply chain activities have an impact on lean performance and the overall performance of an organization. The findings of the studies can help the researcher, experts, and practitioners to study and implement the green supply chain practices in the organization which would further support in reducing environmental issues which are major challenges for developing countries.
