The driver and barrier of implementation green supply chain management (GSCM) in construction projects

Climate change due to rising greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. Construction waste is not only associated with energy use and waste of materials in the construction process but also other activities that do not add value such as repair, waiting time and delays. Concepts such as waste and value are not well understood by construction personnel. They often do not realize that many activities they carry out do not add value to the work. These issues contribute to a reduction in the value of construction productivity and could reduce company performance. The aims of this GSCM study on the construction sector are to identify: (i) the drivers of stakeholders to implement green practices and (ii) the barriers faced by stakeholders in the implementation of these practices. The research methods are literature study and fields observation, where the experts were asked about their opinions related to barriers and drivers to implement the Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in construction. The results showed that each phase of GSCM has barriers and drivers. The barriers and drivers are involved in Green Initiation, Green Design, Green Material Management, Green Construction and Green Operation and Maintenance
