Supply chain risk is one of the factors disrupting the performance of an organisation. Furthermore, supply chain risk does not only affect economic performance but will also disrupt environmental performance. The focus of this paper is to explore the relationship between supply chain risks, the role of green supply chain management practices, and organisational performance. In particular, the originality of this paper is it is reviewing the role of green supply chain management practices as a strategy for organisations in order to mitigate supply chain risk and improve organisational performance. Efforts have been made in order to study the connection between supply chain risks, green supply chain management practices, and organisational performance since there is still a lack of studies focus on the roles of the strategy of green supply chain management practices.
