Abstract: This study examines the nexus of green supply chain practices (G-SCP) toward financial performance (FnP) from the perspective of China. Second, the study explores the moderating impact of i4.0 model of technologies between the connection of G-SCP and FnP. The outcomes confirmed a positive correlation between G-SCP and FnP. Furthermore, a moderation of i4.0 technologies was confirmed between the association of G-SCP and FnP. This study assures that G-SCPs are essential for organisations such as optimising FnP. This study additionally provided insights into i4.0 model of technologies which is found to be a valid factor that affects relational strength. However, this study provides interesting and fruitful applications for the relevant management and future directions for the scholars to consider more studies in future to validate the current outcomes.
