Abstract: This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of green management activities on organizational sustainability, which is very critical for achieving competitive advantage. Five components of green management activities, i.e., green production, green trading, green logistics, green environmental activities, and green regulation management, have been identified in this study from the literature. A total of 500 respondents were selected, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire from the samples who are permanent employees of the tourism organizations in Bangladesh. Results show that all five selected components of green management activities have a significant positive impact on organizational sustainability. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to broadening the profound insights of green management activities to explore the ecological execution of companies.

Mohammad Rabiul Basher Rubel, PhD¹ Nadia Newaz Rimi, PhD² Abstract: This study aims to investigate how the three aspects of business sustainability performance—economic, environmental, and social performance—are impacted by the five components of green supply chain management (GSCM). Eco-design, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green marketing, and internal environment management are the five areas of GSCM that this study addresses. Using cross-sectional survey data gathered from green ready- made garment (RMG) firms in Bangladesh, a research model was developed and tested by applying structural equation modeling. GSCM is positively related to three components of sustainable performance. The outcomes are critical in demonstrating the value of GSCM in enhancing the sustainable performance of green manufacturing businesses like RMG in Bangladesh.   Keywords: Green supply chain management, sustainable performance, green RMG organization, Bangladesh.
