Abstract

This conceptual paper explores the role of information technology (IT) in implementing integrated green supply chain management practices in China. The paper discusses the key principles and goals of green supply chain management, current challenges and opportunities in implementing green practices, and the role of IT in facilitating sustainable practices. The benefits and challenges of adopting IT in integrated green supply chain management are examined, including environmental and social benefits, cost savings and efficiency improvements, as well as technological, organizational, and regulatory challenges. The paper concludes with a summary of key findings and discussions, implications for practitioners and policymakers, and recommendations for future research.
