Market dynamism and industrial growth have resulted in both pressure and drivers for organizations to improve their environmental and social performance. Several organizations are contemplating the integration of sustainability practices into their business strategy and operations as a potential approach to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Worldwide enterprises have started adopting the sustainable and/or green concept in their supply chain management. Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is emerging to be an important approach for enterprises to improve their economic performance and to become more environmentally benign and socially conscious. But, enterprises still lack knowledge about the barriers hindering the implementation of SSCM. The present work focuses on identifying barriers to the implementation of SSCM using a two-stage approach. A total of 39 barriers under five barrier categories were identified on the basis of extensive literature analysis and in-depth interviews with academic experts and industrial experts from various industrial sectors. In the first stage based on carefully designed questionnaire essential important barriers were identified. Next, the critical barriers obtained were are prioritized applying analytic hierarchy process (AHP).
