The Chronology of Green Supply Chain Management ( GrSCM )

Sustainable development has made remarkable progress in establishing environmental and social sustainability towards operations management and the supply chain. Manufacturers in the late 1980’s went beyond what was required in the legislation and went for a greener approach in their operations systems. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the literature of the green supply chain management (GrSCM) over the last twenty years. The key themes that came out of the literature are: green operations, green design, green manufacturing, reverse logistics and waste management. This paper will briefly discuss these issues. This paper will also mention the reasons why organisations would opt for a green supply chain. This essay will then conclude that there is a gap in the literature in terms of the stakeholder views towards green supply chain management. Knowing the different stakeholders’ views to greening initiatives requires qualitative study such as interviews – to portray the different views about the concept and how this would implicate management decisions.
