Increasingly, firms have recognized the significance of environmental issues in gaining competitive advantage. Many firms have searched for mechanisms that integrate environmental supply chain prac-tices and performance objectives. This paper explores how strategic supply chain partnership (SSCP) contributes to environmental supply chain management (ESCM). This study presents a research model that defines the details of SSCP and ESCM. Based on the responses of 141 Korean manufacturing firms, the research model is empirically tested through a structural equation model. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first empirical test conducted on the integration of SSCP and ESCM as a way of examining how these two critical sets of practices are implemented in the context of Korean firms. Managerial implications and future research opportunities are provided.
