Abstract: This study explores the factors and determinants that induce or encumber organisations to put into practice green supply chain management initiatives especially by fertilizers companies within Pakistan. Impact of PSR (Purchasing social responsibility), customer oriented organisational culture and environmental/ legal concerns onto the green supply chain management effectiveness are examined in this paper. Literature review identifies the main categories of above mentioned variables which are considered as important indicators of supply chain management affecting business processes to a large context. Data was gathered through questionnaire distributed to key players in fertilizers sector of Pakistan. Results obtained through statistical process/analysis were interesting in a way that a legal and environmental obligation affected more and has shown positive significant impact on Green SCM rather than customer centric orientation in Pakistan business arena. However this paper unfolds many traditionally believed positive indicators holding good for other businesses, an eye opener that Pakistan fertilizers companies need to stress more on purchasing social responsibility and customer centred business activities to prosper more while being green and socially responsible to society they belong.
Keywords: Green supply chain Management, Fertilizers sector, purchasing social responsibility, customer oriented culture, environmental and legal concerns.
