This study aimed to determine the applicability to which green supply chain practices employed by Shell and Co-operation Petroleum Company in Egypt. Additionally, the impact of Green Supply Chain practices on the operational performance of each company. The results, based on benchmarking, were statistically analyzed by Fischer analysis. Concerning the parameters of company's practices of green procurement, the results revealed highly significant differences (p<0.0001) between Shell and Co-operation Petroleum Companies. Regarding of company's green manufacturing practices, the results revealed highly significance differences (p<0.0001) between Shell and Co-operation Petroleum Companies in produce products that have packages using life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental load, replacing hazardous substances with that are environmentally friendly, minimizing the use of materials in packaging, encouraging ruse of products and recycled materials, reducing the size of packaging, and cooperating with suppliers to standardize packaging between the both company. Referring to the company's practices of reverse logistics, the results revealed highly significant differences (p<0.0001) in dealing with disposal, processing returned merchandise, and repackaging product. Regarding the Company's operational performance with respect to the implementation of green supply chain practices the results revealed highly significant differences (p<0.0001) in quality, safety, delivery, and flexibility between Shell and Co-op companies. This project lustrated that green supply chain practices have a profound effect on the operational performance in Shell Company making it number one in the lubricant industry in Egypt.

Introduction The concept of global warming and environmental pollution has made many companies adopt the concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) to improve the operational performance of enterprises and therefore their products according to environmental requirements, aiming to conserve scarce resources and energy (Hsu and Hu; 2008; Lee, Kim, and Choi, 2012).
Successful management of the green supply chain requires the identification of effective and critical practices to obtain the value within the supply chain that affects operational performance and achieves competitive advantage by developing internal processes and relationships with suppliers and customers (Ayuso, Roca, and Colomé, 2013).
So this study came to explore the impact of green supply chain practices in the operational performance of Shell and Co-operation Petroleum Companies in Egypt in the field of lubricants.
Thus, a study is urgently needed to determine how the operational performance of companies in the lubricant industry is affected by the implementation of green supply chain practices.
Sabegh, Ozturkoglu, and Kim (2016) concluded that there is a strong relationship between third-party logistics practices and corporate performance for a green supply chain.
Data Collection In this study, Descriptive research design, based on two types of benchmarking; best-in-class and operational benchmarking, was used to explain the relationship between the green supply chain practices and operational performance between Shell and Co-op companies in Egypt.
For data analysis, the Fisher's exact test was used to compare between Shell and Co-operation Petroleum Companies to assess the impact of green supply chain practices on operational performance; quality, safety, delivery and, flexibility.
