The paper proposes a theoretical framework governing the spread of green (environmental) practices in business networks. This addresses gaps identified in extant green supply chain management and network theory literature. The network approach, as developed by the Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) Group, affords a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between the numerous organisations influencing an entity’s environmental policies and practices, such as governments, industry organisations, environmental advocacy groups, consumers, customers, suppliers, supplier’s suppliers and so forth. The framework will assist stakeholders, such as governments and brand owners, who may be interested in green practices spreading throughout industries and supply chains
