Pakistan industries are new to sustainable supply chain and are becoming aware of environmental hazards resulting from industrial processes and waste. There are significant findings regarding sustainable supply chain practices and performance relationship. First of all, this research survey population was based on local manufacturing industries and was different from each other. The research awareness may not be adopted immediately by industry because there is improvement required in the area of performance.
