Abstract
Many studies have hinted the role of supply chain capabilities on green logistics management. Yet, little has been done to empirically examine the relationship. The aim of this study is thus to explore whether possessing certain supply chain capabilities enables the implementation of green logistics practices. We conducted our study by using an online survey instrument that was administered to a random sample of 600 firms in the automotive industry. Our findings validate the positive association between supply chain capabilities and the implementation of green logistics practices. A significant implication of our study may be that organizations seeking competitive advantages through green logistics strategies may need to consider and develop appropriate supply chain capabilities for the successful implementation of green logistics practices.
