    THE IMPACT OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN PRACTICES TOWARDS ENVIRONMENTAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCES AMONG SMES IN PENANG
    (2022) GERMAINE CHEE JIA LE
    Environmental issues have been one priority concerns in Malaysia. However, the concept of green supply chain practices adoption is still relatively new in Malaysia. Thus, the research in studying the impact of green supply chain management practices toward environmental and operational performance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Penang is conducted. There are four independent variables and two dependent variables in this research. Independent variables including green procurement, investment recovery, eco-design and packaging and reverse logistics. Meanwhile, the environmental and operational performance as the dependent variables. In this research, 40 to 60 SMEs in Penang are the targeted sample population. It revealed that both eco-design and packaging and reverse logistics have positively significant to environmental and operational performance, but both green procurement and investment recovery have not positively significant to environmental and operational performance. Lastly, the research findings have provided some research implications and recommendations to the researchers, industrial practitioners and policymakers who are having interest in this topic. This research also serves as a guideline for companies that tend to implement these green supply chain practices for improving both their environmental and operational performance.
