Green supply chain management and financial performance: The mediating roles of operational and environmental performance

This study investigates the moderating effects of environmental and operational performance on the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) and financial performance. The proposed relationships are analyzed using survey data from a sample of 126 automobile manufacturers in China. The results suggest that GSCM is significantly and positively associated with both environmental and operational performance, which in turn leads to improved financial performance. The full mediation effects indicate that the relationship between GSCM and financial performance is indirect, through both environmental and operational performance.
