There has become a comprehensive awareness among stakeholders of the potentially life-ending effects that industrial companies can perpetuate through their operations. As a result, these reasons prompted industrial companies to reconsider how to go about green operations. Customers have become aware of the culture of green practices, and their preference for the low prices they can get from companies that are environmentally ignorant in their operations. Hence, this study aims to test the relationship between green supply chain management practices and competitive advantage in the Jordanian industrial sector. The methodology of the current study was through an extensive search of research and papers published in databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. In this study, detailing the dimensions of green supply chains is also another goal. The results of the study showed that internal green supply chains (Internal environment management, eco-design) and external green supply chains (Green purchasing, customer cooperation, investment recovery) It has a positive role in achieving competitive advantage (cost advantage and differentiation advantage) in the industrial sector. This study will provide fruitful insight for industrial companies and valuable recommendations for future research.
