Abstract
This study seeks to explore the activities of green supply chain management (GSCM) and how it affects the green manufacturing requirements of industrial organisations. The case study focuses on Al-Hakama Pharmaceutical and Medical Supplies. The objective is to elucidate the impact of the correlation between the dimensions of the green supply chain and green manufacturing. This research aims to evaluate managers' comprehension of GSCM and its activities, as well as their awareness of green industrialization. In addition, it seeks to assess whether managers perceive GSCM activities as beneficial for achieving green industrialization and explore the relationship and impact of GSCM activities on green manufacturing. For statistical analysis, a total of 120 valid responses were collected. We processed the data using SEM and the statistical programme SPSS. Positive correlations were observed between the green supply chain and green manufacturing, indicating a relationship between the two. Further, the impact of the green supply chain on green manufacturing was also identified. This study highlights the strategic advantage of adopting green manufacturing in the context of global competition. It emphasises the importance of GSCM activities as key drivers of organisational success .
