. Background: This study contributes to the green supply chain while examining the role of institutional pressure and green marketing to achieve environmental sustainability. Methods: Data from 256 manufacturing firms in Pakistan was analyzed through a quantitative dyadic data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling by incorporating quota sampling. Results: The finding revealed that institutional pressures are significantly associated with the green supply chain. The results indicated that green marketing acts as a significant moderator between the green supply chain and customer green purchase intention. Finally, green supply chain practices are significantly associated with environmental sustainability. Conclusions: This is a novel study that contributed to a green supply chain that integrates all dimensions of the green supply chain in one hybrid model. This study has contributed solid theoretical insights by integrating the theory of planned behavior and institutional theory .
