The objective of the study is to extend available green supply chain management (GSCM) literature by identifying and developing a conceptual framework that examines the practices of green supply chain management (GSCM). The study is based on literature review and generates important outcomes on the various dimensions of GSCM practices that are commonly used under the umbrella of GSCM. Through a review of available literature, we identified 30 articles on GSCM practices which were published between 2004 and 2018. This paper adds to the literature by defining GSCM that consider six main practices, namely, eco-design, internal environmental management, green purchasing, cooperation with the customer, investment recovery and reverse logistics. Subsequently, a conceptual framework was developed based on the identified GSCM practices. For managers, it is important to consider these dimensions/practices of GSCM when implementing environmental management in supply chain operations. Moreover, the implications of the study will help the managers and policymakers to have more focus on these dimensions of GSCM practices. Such studies also help academicians and researchers to a better understanding of these dimensions GSCM practices.
