Exploring Green Logistics Management in Thai Small and MediumSized Food Exporters This study aims to explore green logistics management (GLM) in Thai small and mediumsized (SME) food exporters. At first, indepth interviews with representativesexperts in the relevant industry were undertaken to identify the main activities regarding GLM guided by indicators drawn from the relevant literature. Then, a questionnaire was deployed to gather data from representatives of Thai SME food exporters through purposive sampling, which 52 firms completed. Statistical analysis, including Chisquare tests and ttests, was undertaken for hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that the levels of the production and marketing aspects of engagement in GLM, are the highest and lowest, respectively. The results also reveal that the GLM activity of SME food exporters is independent of ISO14000 implementation. Finally, the evidence confirms that Thai SME food exporters implementing ISO14000 have significantly higher levels of GLM when compared to their nonimplementing counterparts in all the tested dimensions.
