Coercive Pressures, Internal Green Supply Chain Management Practices and Environmental Performance: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Companies of Peru

Abstract

This empirical study of manufacturing companies from Peru investigates the relationship between coercive pressures and internal green supply chain management practices (internal environmental management and eco-design), as well as the relationship of these practices with the environmental performance. This paper has used a sample of 133 manufacturing companies, the data was analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The statistical results show that coercive pressures influence the adoption of internal environmental management and eco-design and that environmental performance is positively related to the adoption of internal environmental management but not with eco-design. Finally, the conclusion and future research is discussed.
