Adoption of Green Supply Chain Management Practices for Sustainable Performance: A Study of Systematic Literature Review

Md Oalywllah, Daryono Daryono, Siti Zulaikha Wulandari

Abstract


In recent years, environmental regulatory bodies, organizations, and researchers have raised their concerns about the uses of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices and their impact on sustainable performance in many regions. Integrating GSCM practices empowers organizations to achieve a harmonious balance between economic success, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility, thereby securing a more resilient and prosperous future. Hence, this article delves into adopting Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices to enhance sustainable performance. Through a systematic literature review, this study examines the interplay between the adoption of environmentally conscious practices within supply chains and their subsequent impact on overall long-term performance. This review article involves research articles published from 2006 to 2023. Initially, 63 research articles were included using the search engine optimization (SEO) and keyword typing process. However, after a careful assessment of each record based on the objectivity and scope of the study, 52 articles were selected for this review by following the (PRISMA 2020) statement. Results, from the findings of empirical research conducted by enormous authors, show that adopting GSCM practices in organizations leads to sustainable performance (Economic, Social, and Environmental) despite having some difficulties and challenges in implementation. This research aspires to provide researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with valuable insights that can inform their decisions and actions in fostering sustainability within supply chain operations.
