Abstract
Against China's "Dual Carbon" goals, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is critical for high-quality economic development and ecological civilization. Based on the Resource-Based View and Institutional Theory, this study builds a model to examine how GSCM affects corporate economic and environmental performance, with an empirical analysis of 328 Chinese manufacturing enterprises. Results show that green procurement, green production and reverse logistics significantly improve both environmental and economic performance, where environmental performance partially mediates the GSCM–economic performance link. "Deep green" management focusing on life-cycle emission reduction enhances long-term competitiveness more effectively than compliance-oriented "light green" management. Government environmental regulation positively moderates the relationship between GSCM and corporate performance. The findings offer empirical support for enterprises to overcome cost and technical barriers, and drive industrial upgrading from "light green" to "deep green" development.
