Abstract

This paper aims to introduce the impact of sustainable supply chain management in the Pakistani construction industry and how it helps with the performance and Development of the construction industry. It aims to elaborate on and emphasize how a sustainable supply chain will be more effective the traditional construction management and its supply chains. A quantitative research method with a deductive approach was used to test research hypotheses. A sample of 154 respondents using a questionnaire responded for data analysis. In Pakistan, the market for a construction company is primarily local based and highly volatile. The assessment is carried out to determine the level of significance and degree of impact of supply chain management (SCM) and sustainability on the construction industry's performance. The results derived from the test show that SCM has a moderate impact leading to leading to increased performance. The lack of time and budget limited the focus to Karachi-based construction businesses, leaving other construction businesses in Pakistan as not relevant. The paper primarily focused on the Pakistan-based construction industry, and the articles that are a source for this study generated knowledge regarding various issues and opportunities associated with supply chain management in the Karachi-based construction industry.
