Green supply chain management: A state of the art review

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become a topic of interest for both business leaders and academic researchers alike. Over the last decade or so, the GSCM literature has grown considerably. Although sufficient literature exists about various aspects and facets of GSCM, earlier works and reviews have a limited focus and narrow perspective. This paper presents a comprehensive integrated view of the published literature of GSCM so as to facilitate further study, practice and research. First, we introduce the different definitions of GSCM and its´ development. Second, we focus on reviewing the research on GSCM´s decisions and models. Finally, we discuss the limitations of existing research on GSCM and indicate future research opportunities.
