Green-related practices are widely implemented in various countries to ensure that problems related to the environment can be reduced. The concept of green-related practices and strategies were introduced and identified in providing the green procurement can be fully implemented in the Malaysian construction project. Green procurement concept is presented as one of the initiatives to support in reducing environmental issues throughout construction execution. Hence, this paper focuses on analysing the strengths and weaknesses of green procurement as well presented the opportunities and threats towards construction. Focus group discussion was conducted among green expert's participant who shares their experiences and point of views related to green procurement. The outcomes of this research findings offer plans and a clearer picture for practitioners in implementing green procurement practices in construction execution. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
