Few prior studies on green purchasing examine the impact of top-management commitment to new
regulatory requirements, customer pressure, and suppliers' opportunities to adopt new green purchase
requirements. This study attempts to fill this research gap and explores the effects of critical drivers on firms'
adoption of green purchasing. This study collected 239 useable questionnaires from 863 electronics firms. The
empirical results demonstrate that environmental collaboration with suppliers, top-management commitment,
and customer pressure influence firms' green purchasing positively and significantly. Besides directly
affecting green purchasing, top-management commitment also indirectly affects green purchasing via
environmental collaboration with suppliers. Overall, internal motives of top-management commitment and
environmental collaboration with suppliers exceed the external motives of regulatory pressure and customer
pressure with regard to green purchasing adoption. Top-management commitment is the primary driver of
firms' success in adopting green purchasing standards.
