Recently industries have tried to implement measures geared to GM practices, though; the effort towards green agenda is not straightforward because of the obstacles facing the industries. The presence of these barriers makes the implementation of green issue complex to the industries. So that, the world should develop proper understanding of these barriers to smooth the practices of GM. This paper was aimed to identify critical barriers to GM practices of Ethiopian cement industries. To accomplish this objective; Questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions were used. The study found that low enforcement, low top management commitment, weak legislation, lack of awareness/information, and the like were critical barriers and proper measures to be taken are recommended.
