An empirical analysis of green supply chain management practices in Bangladesh construction industry

The contemporary environmental issues are alleviating through green supply chain management (GSCM) practices in the construction industry; bring economic benefit and sustainability for the business organization. Construction industry operations are very complex and integrated supply chain i.e. GSCM practice is the best way to reduce construction waste and improving environmental performance. The application of GSCM in the construction industry in Bangladesh is still unexplored, and this study explored the relationship between GSCM and construction waste to reduce construction waste through multiple-regression. Quantitative data has been collected by semi-structured survey questionnaire from 30 the construction industries in Bangladesh.
