Background: The chemical industry has great potential to damage the environment due to its production activities. Environmental pollution can cause threats such as increased global warming, decreased biodiversity, and destruction of resources. These threats reveal the danger of sustainability. In the coming years, green strategies focusing on sustainability will create significant competitive advantages for businesses in the chemical industry. Having a green competitive advantage depends on many factors. This study first attempts to determine the effect of supply chain integration (SCI) on green competitive advantage (GCA). In addition, the study also evaluates the effect of supply chain agility (SCA) on SCI. With a risk management culture (RMC), SCA increases, and as a consequence, supply chain resilience (SCR) emerges. In this context, the study also examines the effect of RMC on SCA. Methods: The data required to test the hypotheses put forward within the study's purpose were collected through questionnaires. The questionnaires were applied to 239 companies operating in the chemical sector in Turkey. First, the measurement model was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. Then, the hypotheses within the research were tested by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results: According to the analyses, supply chain RMC positively affects SCA. SCA positively affects all dimensions of SCI. Each of the sub-dimensions of SCI positively affects GCA. Conclusions: This study has revealed the importance of the sub-dimensions of SCI in creating a GCA. In addition, the effects of SCA on integration are also emphasized. No study in the literature reveals the effect of SCI in creating GCA in the chemical industry. In addition, the study also reveals the importance of SCR in terms of SCI. In this context, this study provides noteworthy information for business managers and researchers who realise the importance of having a GCA in the coming period.
