The study focused into the implementation of green supply chain management practices in Zimbabwean
Organizations. Since 2000, Zimbabwe has witnessed a significant number of business closures, which has
consequently impeded the adoption of green supply chain practices. The study was guided by the objectives
that included investigating the need to implement green supply chain management, examining
implementation success factors that promote green supply chain management, and identifying the
challenges faced in promoting green supply chain management. Interpretivism research philosophy and
descriptive research design were adopted in this study. A specific population was drawn from 150
employees of selected Zimbabwean logistic companies. Non-probability sampling methods were adopted in
this study. The findings on climate concern as the need for green supply chain implementation show that
10% strongly disagree with that view, 35% were neutral, and the other 30% strongly agreed. Findings on
green manufacturing technology practice as one of the success factors that promote green supply chain
management showed that 15% strongly disagreed with the view, 30% were neutral, and the other 30%
strongly agreed. The findings on regulatory challenges faced in promoting green supply chain management
show that 10% strongly disagree with that view, 35% were neutral, while the other 30% strongly agreed.
This study demonstrates that green supply chain management is crucial for environmental protection,
mitigating pollution, and addressing climate-related challenges. It recommends that organizations and other
stakeholders in Zimbabwe develop various strategies to enhance the implementation of green supply chain
practices.
