    To improve organizational performance and gain a competitive advantage, businesses today realize that environmental sustainability and becoming green are key basic principles. The objective of this study is to investigate how Green Supply Chain Management Practices (GSCMP) would affect the operational performance of logistics companies in Sri Lanka. A questionnaire was used to gather primary data from the sample, which consisted of 152 logistics companies. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyze the data using multiple linear regression. According to the study's findings, green packaging and green transportation have a significant impact on operational performance, whereas green purchasing has no significant impact. The contribution of this study addresses a gap in existing literature concerning the combined analysis of green purchasing, green packaging, green warehousing, and green transportation variables in relation to their impact on operational performance in the Sri Lankan context. And it is the first study to focus specifically on the Sri Lankan logistics sector. Also, the study identifies GSCMP adoption limitations in the logistics sector and lays out the foundations for future research to address those barriers.

    Impact of Green Supply Chain Practices on Sustainability in Sri Lankan Tea Export Sector: A Systematic Literature Review
    (ICSDB 2024 and SLIIT Business School, 2024-12-10) Medani, K.; Karunathilaka, N.; Thathsarani, H.; Liyanage, P.; Karunarathna, N.; Aluthwala, C.
    GSCM is one of the most crucial strategies that incorporate sustainability into operational and production practices. Based on this premise, the given systematic literature review examines how the key GSCM practices influence sustainability in Sri Lanka's tea export sector. This review identifies synthesized findings from various studies that the adoption of GSCM has led to a significant improvement in economic sustainability through a reduction in operational costs of up to 20%-and enhancing the ability of market competitiveness. In this regard, environmental concerns contribute by reducing resource consumption by up to 30% as waste is generated, promoting sustainable production processes. Socially, GSCM advances good labor practices and strengthens community involvement in the pursuit of better working conditions, improving relationships between the producers and local communities. With all these advantages, however, GSCM in the Sri Lankan tea export sector faces fluctuating global market prices, effects of climate change, and persistent labor shortages. These challenges are indicative that strategic interventions of the government to support and collaborate in the industry do become urgent to enhance sustainability. This review also points out one important limitation in relying on secondary sources of data and emphasizes that there is a dire need for empirical research to enhance the evidence base to provide actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders. In sum, this literature review underlined that GSCM played a vital role in the advancement of sustainability within the tea export sector and in providing a competing position of the industry in a global market for long-term viability in sustainability
