Abstract
A significant segments of cement will be concrete, which has its own natural and social effects and contributes generally to those solid. .The cement industry is the one of the main producers of carbon dioxide ,a potent green house gases .Concrete causes damage to the most fertile layer of the earth. Building industry is one of the leaders in deterioration of environment by depleting resources and consuming energy. Emissions from Cement manufacturing are one of the major contributors in global warming and climate change. Concrete has a place with the frequently utilized structure materials and its creation is expanding over the world. But the cement industry is an energy enormous intensive and produce many emissions, odours and noise. The need to green the supply chain has therefore become critically important .Green supply chain management (GSCM) is considered as an environmental innovation. The concept of GSCM is to integrate environmental thinking into supply chain management. GSCM aims to minimize or eliminate wastages including hazardous chemical, emissions, energy and solid waste along supply chain such as product design, material resourcing and selection, manufacturing process, delivery of final product and end-of-life management of the product. In this project, green supply chain factors in cement industry are collected from literatures and green indices are prepared based on the collected data. Relative Importance Index is used to rank the environmental impacts
