Yet, the corporate and environmental manufacturing issues in developing countries have not been as well investigated. This paper compares drivers and practices of green supply chain management in one developing country, China. We investigate the drivers and practices of Chinese manufacturing enterprises in three typical sectors, automobile industry, thermal power plants and electronic/electrical industry. This study indicates that Chinese companies in different industries have differing drivers and practices. This paper also tends to confirm that globalization and China’s entry into the world trade organization have helped promote GSCM practices in manufacturing enterprises.
