Green Supply Chain Management: A Literature Review about the Phenomenon in Indonesia

Abstract

The literature review on green supply chain management (GSCM) highlights the growing importance of sustainable practices in supply chain management. The paper explores the concept of GSCM, its key elements, challenges and opportunities for implementation. It also examines the impact of GSCM on organizational performance, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The review covers various studies conducted in different industries, including manufacturing, retail and logistics. The findings reveal that the adoption of GSCM practices can result in cost savings, enhanced brand reputation and reduced environmental impact. However, the implementation of GSCM faces several challenges, including lack of awareness, high implementation costs, and coordination issues among supply chain partners. The review suggests that GSCM can be an effective strategy for firms to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage and meet the increasing demand for environmental responsibility.
