Results obtained through implementation of green activities in the supply chain

As a result of the growing importance of ''green'' practices conducted by participants of supply chains, the interest of possibly obtained results on this account also increases. Therefore, the purpose of these considerations is to indicate what kind of effects are most often obtained by entities in the above dimension. Quantitative research was carried out among manufacturing enterprises registered in Poland, which are participants of domestic and international supply chains. A questionnaire was used as a research tool. On the basis of research, among other things, it has been proved that enterprises primarily produce results in the area of for the sake of materials management and for the natural environment, while clearly visible economic effects are not notably visible. This is characteristic of the initial stage of the development of green practices.
