I. INTRODUCTION
Across the globe, the emergence of green concepts and following them is the main point of concern for developed and developing economies. As per Asian Emerging Economies (AEE), green supply chain management (GSCM) practices have augmented the performance of the organizations in three aspects: economic, environmental, and operational (Geng, Mansouri, and Aktas 2017). Due to regulatory demands, drivers, and competitive and marketing pressures (Jafar Heydari, Kannan Govindan, and Zahra Basiri,2020). In marketing theory and practice, "eco-friendly" or "green" has become a buzzword and a trend in recent years. The people, profit, and attitudes are the business triple bottom line and benefit from going green. However, in corporate culture, going green necessitate a substantial shift. The strategic decisions should align with consumers' environmental beliefs and attitudes. Environmentally consciousness is augmenting, which is evident from the marketplace due to concerns related to the environment (G.D. Samarasinghe, F. J. Ahsan,2014).Practices related to Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are mainly known as strategies of management that present ecological aspects problems. (Ahmed A. Zaid, Abdul Talib Bon, Ayham A. M. Jaaron,2019). Another name of clean technology is green technology or environmental technology. It focuses on developing and implementing systems, products, and equipment, which leads to the protection and conservation of natural resources and environments. These systems, equipment, and products should fulfill the criteria such as
It should diminish the ruin of natural resources, and it should not be detrimental to the environmental section.
The main motive of green technology is to curb the negative impact of human participation on nature and remove the toxic generation from the environment by stabilizing their emission or changing the condition that leads to their production. Hence, it gives a platform for establishing balance in the biological and economic environment. Through comprehensive literature, a review study has been done to understand the impact of the application of Green Technologies by the various companies around the globe and how it is advantageous after implementation.
An attempt is made to examine its influences on the environment and how it helps in environmental sustainability. The main objective of this paper is to explain in detail the concept of Sustainable Supply Chain, Green technology, and its crucial role in enhancing performance, which augments the overall development of the organization in the current scenario. Thus, the principal aim of this research is to discover the notion of green technology. Furthermore, to find the association between green technology and its impact on the organization's efficiency.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
A. GSCM and Related Practices
Green supply chain management (GSCM) is "green procurement, green manufacturing, green distribution, and reverse logistics." The objectives of this study are to know the present concept of green supply chain management, identify existing green practices, and analyze the impact of green practices on Industrial Performance.
B. Essential Concepts Of Green Supply Chain Management Emerging From The Literature
6. Reverse Logistics: Reverse logistics is a minor part of the entire logistics of a business. Reverse logistics deals with the management of the returned goods to the manufacturer by the consumer. It involves all the events that govern the outcome of these returned goods. Reverse logistics is relatively new, and logistics companies and researchers presently aim to core on its impacts on managerial decisions. As per Rogers and Tibben-Lembke reverse logistics is "the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods, and related information from the consumption point to origin point to recovery value or proper clearance."
7. Green Technology: Green technology (GT) is a broad term and a field of new innovative ways to make environmentally-friendly changes in daily life. The creation and usage of it are in a way that preserves the environment and natural resources. It is meant as an alternative source of technology that reduces fossil fuels and demonstrates minor damage to human, animal, and plant health and damage to the world. The use of green technology is supposed to reduce the amount of waste and pollution created during production and consumption. The relationship between the organization and stakeholders such as suppliers and investors also play a vital role in the actual application of GSCM, thus thereby enhancing the organization's operational efficiency and increasing competitive advantages (Ayham A.M. Jaaron, Ahmed A. Zaid, Abdul Talib Bon, 2018). Customer's cooperation: Customer's requirement for eco-friendly goods is rising. Many consumers choose progressive environmental records organizations, greener products, and are prepared to pay an elite for it (Lakshmi and Visalakshmi,2012). The human aspect holds a vital position in 'greening the supply chain. The role of the consumer in green supply chain management requires to be identified and recognized as an essential aspect for effective implementation of GSCM practices in the present scenario.
C. Effect of Green Technology on Organizational Performance
D. Green Technology in the Contemporary Era
The concept of green investing has received considerable attention and has led to different forms of green investment avenues/portfolios, mutual funds, indexes, etc. The most popular green theme is climate change, and institutional investors have begun to coordinate efforts with prominent action groups on various environmental issues. The findings have important implications for investment decisions as investors may start investing in green firms (preferably non-blue-chip companies) to reap higher returns at lower risk. We expect more socially responsible mutual funds or green mutual funds will be launched in India shortly for green investment promotion. (Vanita Tripathia1, Varun Bhandarib,2012)
E. Branches of Green Technology
F. Benchmarks to be Considered for Selection of Green Technology
The decision to choose appropriate technology various implements and methodology should be considered, which helps companies ascertain the uncertain future. In other words, the right technology searches for those technologies that have beneficial effects on revenue distribution, human enhancement, ecological quality, and the dissemination of political power.
G. Goals of Green technology
The significance of Green Technology as an environmentally friendly approach is an advanced technology that majorly aims at conserving natural resources and the environment to a large extent, thereby protecting the ecological balance. Thus, clean technology upholds greater importance which can't be overlooked by green technology has a policy which has principle four pillars which are as follows ·
a. Energy: Explore to achieve energy independence and aid efficient implementation; ·
b. Environment: Preserve and diminish the effect on the environment;
c. Economic: Expansion of the national economic development through technology ·
d. Social: Advance the excellence of life for all. (Gangadhar B and Ramakrishna Naidu G,2017).
H. Challenges for Green Technology
I. Sustainability via Green Technology
In their report, the World Commission on the Environment and Development, known as the Brundtland Commission, "Our Common Future," presented and outlined the word sustainable development. According to report practice, the utilization of natural sources, the provision of financing, and the procedure of technological enlargement and organizational revolution are in coherence with each other for both present and upcoming generations. Grounded on this context, "sustainability" is measured as a track advancing that permits humankind to encounter current economic, human health, and societal needs without negotiating the growth and achievement of future generations. The hazard allied with "dirty" technologies, for instance, petroleum products, is augmenting at an alarming rate. The "clean" technologies as an outcome are foreseen to postulate alleviated outcomes of substitutes. Maximum of the administering bodies in developing and developed countries are advancing the massive sum of capital into clean power market and following industries' acceleration renewable energy technologies that are power proficient. Green Technology (GT) covers a comprehensive unit of resources for producing power to poisonous cleaning produce. The primary motive is that this area has been notably significant since most of the public believes in vivid innovation and modifications in their living. Green technology encounters the requirement of the social order in modes that can persist forever into the upcoming without harming or reducing natural sources.
In terms of the technology that can generate products that can be completely recovered or recycled, such framework to the critical cycle of production has effectively diminished pollution and hazardous waste by changing production and consumption patterns. Technological innovations have aroused in developing alternative fuels as a new means of generating energy and energy efficiency. Besides, Green Technology is the development of green engineering and green chemistry, one of the highest motivating arenas of technology, that is understood to change the methods that the whole thing in the world is manufactured (Gangadhar B and Ramakrishna Naidu G,2017). As per the OECD detail report "In the direction of Green Growth," policymakers should emulate the notion of green growth. An economy must be dynamic, flexible, and productive while using reserve and enforcing a mutual impact on nature for its preservation. Investment and innovation are perceived as drivers that lead to green technology development. Technology, increasing productivity, and innovation are the main factors considered in the common scenarios used for the development of forecast that furthermore gives rise to ecological advantages extensively. (Minjian Guo, Joanna Nowakowska-Grunt, Vladimir Gorbanyov and Maria Egorova, 2020).
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A descriptive approach has been followed, and a comprehensive summarization of literature related to green technology and its impact or critical role in augmenting its performance has been presented. This paper analyzes, summarizes, and gives a detailed theory of green technology and related aspects.
IV. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The above conceptual model presents that green technology impacts the various levels of performance of the organization. Thus, this investigation offers green technology as a green practice that influences the organization's production.
V. FINDINGS
Based on analysis of various literature, researchers concluded that green technology plays an essential role in augmenting the overall performance and efficiency of the organization. Consumer welfare can be improved if the efficiency of green technology adoption and the coefficient of greenness level on market demand is sufficiently high. Thus, this outcome signifies that if the government is consumer-centric, the manufacturer should be motivated to build up the cost reduction potential concerning green technology. Consumers should be educated about sustainability consciousness knowledge. (Bin Shen, Chen Zhu, Qingying Li, Xiaofeng Wang,2020). In one of the literatures, results show that green technology plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. Apart from FDI and trade, green technology is a vital factor in reducing carbon emissions. (Sudharshan Reddy Paramati, Di Mo, and Ruixian Huang,2021). A new and innovative technological model comprising biotechnologies, renewable energies, investment targeting, and more ecologically and technically efficient products and processes should be considered significant. Eco-innovation has an integral feature of eradicating the detrimental impact of the innovation, which somehow leads to environmental degradation that represents the dark side. Sustainable global development is one of the inevitable and highly prioritized aspects which should be implemented in all productive activities as it is an efficient tool in reducing the negative effect of the Industrial revolution that has caused pollution and environmental change, which has become dangerous and threatening to our planet. (Fernanda Q. Sperotto and Iván G. P. Tartaruga,2021).
VI. SUGGESTIONS
A. To begin with, the government should expand R&D investment in Green Technology to uphold its endurance and strengthen the expansion of Green technology. A rise in the total sum of R&D investment in Green Technology will direct to the qualitative enhancement of Green Technology and progress at the national level of Green technology.
B. Secondly, the organized and stable analysis of global drift in renewable climate technologies, firms should be directed to monitor the development of the high quality of Green Technology beyond its existing emphasis on a limited technology such as fuel cells, LEDs, and solar cells. This enhancement will assist in encountering the global market's drift and increase trades and functions of national Green Technology.
C. Thirdly, to encourage the domestic interest and investment in Green technology, it must be emulated by the up-gradation of the practical use of Green technology in national and sphere markets. Therefore, the government must reinforce the industry-university-institute alliance and encourage the commercialization of the expansion of Green technology.
D. Fourth, to endure the expansion of domestic green technology and R&D in the extensive span, the destructive impact of Green Technology must be measured by companies throughout the R&D process. Hence, officials must offer the R&D ability to forecast the adverse effects of Green Technology and to set up a standard for outlining and monitoring them. (Jae Yun Jeong , Inje Kang , Ki Seok Choi and Byeong-Hee Lee,2018)
E. Fifth, using data on GREENEX is beneficial from the analysis of a previous study that portfolio of green stocks outperformed during a financial crisis than other portfolios; hence attempts should be made to increase the awareness among the firms for green investing.
The customer\'s requirement for a green technology product is in progress. Government consumers are progressively directed to procure green wherever offered, and the range of produce enclosed by such establishments is increasing. The main motive of green technology is to curb the negative impact of human participation on nature and remove the toxic generation from the environment by stabilizing their emission or changing the condition that leads to their eco-friendly production. Environmental interest is a novel mantra in the recent era to display their input for ecological consciousness and corporate liability towards natural enhancement in environmental deprivation caused by different aspects. Organizational attainments are by financial performance, and social and environmental accomplishments hold importance. Hence it provides a platform for establishing balance in the biological and economic environment.
