The GSCM practices adoption is the critical path for realizing the performance goals of a firm. The earlier literature emphasizes various resources - internal and external based on various theories including Resource Based Theory and Institutional Theory. This research studied internal and external drivers and their impact on the performance of logistic firms. The variation in GSCM practices is accounted for by the identified internal drivers namely Top Management (TM), Green Practices (GP), Investment Recovery (IRY), Eco-Design (ED), and Pollution (POLLU) of a firm. Of the five internal drivers, and two external drivers namely Legislation and Competitive Pressure. Of these variables, only ED and POLLU are not found as significant variables for GSCM practices, hypotheses related to other variables were accepted. An adoption of GSCM practices was a strong predictor of firm performance.
