It will also evaluate the relationship between these practices and different levels of operational performance. Data collection for the study was done by surveying 217 employees of the modern retail sector in Bangladesh.

According to the study, GSCM procedures have a positive and robust correlation with operational performance. For owners and managers to get the most out of their operations, they need to think about green buying, green information systems, and internal environmental management all at once.
