Abstract
Green supply chain management (GSCM)—an important strategic choice for organizations participating in supply chain activities—incorporates environmental issues into how firms manage their supply chains. Firms implement green management in their supply chains, both internally and externally, to enhance their sustainability performance. This study provides an empirical analysis using questionnaire-based data from manufacturing firms in China. The results reveal a strong positive correlation between internal and external GSCM and corporate sustainability performance, with green innovation playing a mediating role in this relationship. Additionally, supply chain collaboration promotes the relationship between internal and external GSCM and green innovation. This study's findings offer managerial guidance for judiciously implementing environmental strategies within supply chain frameworks to enhance firms' sustainability.
