Environmental issues are forcing the building industry to 'go green.' Green supply chain management can be a comprehensive method for facilitating sector transformation. Green supply chain management research in the building has grown over the years, but it has yet to be properly linked all together. Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an effective strategy for distinguishing a firm from its rivals, and it may have a substantial influence on planned achievement. GSCM has become increasingly essential as well as for Indian firms’ business ethics as the necessity to comply with environmental regulations becomes more prominent. Firms adopting the commercial and operational effectiveness of GSCM approaches with a focus on distribution operations have improved significantly and ecological performance in a wide variety of areas. The study discusses India's current environmental performance index (EPI) as well as the four primary operations of green supply chain management, namely green purchasing, green manufacturing, green marketing, and reverse logistics. Key Words: Supply chain management (SCM), green supply chain management, Construction industry, green purchasing, green procurement, Reverse logistics (RL) 1. INTRODUCTION Consumers will ask additional inquiries about the things they buy as they become more interested in environmental concerns and climate change. Companies may expect questions about the environmental friendliness of their manufacturing processes and supply chain, as well as their environmental emissions and recycling practices. In process improvement and the supply chain, the green economy has achieved great gains in guaranteeing environmental and social sustainability. Development is defined as "development that serves the demands of the present without harming outcomes' potential." Economic, environmental, and social responsibility are all facets of durability.[1] Fig-1. A typical supply chain network Various forms of studies have attempted to apply the notion of GSCM in manufacturing to the building sector. The scope, objective, and conclusion of the studies varied. The advanced GSCM framework in the construction sector, which comprises five theories, is one technique of research that acts as the major source for this study, namely, green procurement, green purchasing, green design, green manufacturing, green construction, and green operation and maintenance, as shown in fig. 1.[2] Green resources refer to how supply chain management and industrial buying innovations may be viewed from the perspective of the environment. Environmental supply chain management entails the buying unit participating in actions Fig-2. GSCM framework in the building sector
