Abstract
Considering the importance of environmental protection, paying attention to demand fluctuations during the supply chain and predicting factors affecting it, and reducing these fluctuations can maximize the efficiency of the green supply chain. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing the establishment of the green supply chain in the textile and garment industry of Yazd province. The statistical population of this research is made up of experts, managers and employees of the textile and garment industry of Yazd province. In this research, the factors affecting the establishment and implementation of the green supply chain approach in the textile and garment industry of Yazd province have been identified. In the following, using the interpretive structural modeling technique, the factors identified in the previous section were structured in the form of three conceptual models. Next, in order to fit the formed conceptual models, structural equation modeling technique was used using SmartPLS3 software. The findings of the study reveal three conceptual models pertaining to economic, societal, and environmental aspects, each at three, two, and two overarching tiers, correspondingly. Additionally, the research has identified a set of initial key variables in the realm of cultivating a green supply chain approach. These variables encompass the financing of novel environmentally friendly products, the optimization of cost-effective green product designs, the degree of responsiveness to stakeholders, the embracement of environmental policies, the social image of the brand, and the level of accumulated experience and expertise.
