Drawing on the natural resource-based view and coordination theory, this study examines the extent to which different combinations of internal and external green supply chain management (GSCM) practices influence third-party logistics providers' (TPLs) operational and financial performances. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of survey data from 232 TPLs shows that combined internal and external GSCM practices improve both operational and financial performances. However, taking into account the TPLs' size allows alternative combinations of GSCM practices: a combination of green supply and eco-design packaging improves small TPLs' performances, whereas a combination of all GSCM practices, except investment recovery and reverse logistics, improves large TPLs’ performances. By using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis instead of traditional linear methodologies, this study offers a new approach to determine the configurations of internal and external GSCM practices that lead to enhanced operational and financial performances in TPLs, rather than treating each GSCM practice separately.

基于自然资源的观点和协调理论，本研究考察了内部和外部绿色供应链管理（GSCM）做法的不同组合对第三方物流提供商（TPL）的运营和财务绩效的影响程度。对来自232个TPL的调查数据进行的模糊集定性比较分析表明，内部和外部GSCM做法相结合可改善运营和财务绩效。但是，考虑到第三方贸易商的规模，可以选择其他GSCM做法组合：绿色供应和生态设计包装的组合可以改善小型TPL的绩效，而所有GSCM做法（投资回收和逆向物流除外）的组合都可以改善大型TPL。的表演。
