| Sumario: | With the rise in global consumption and the consequent intensive demand for global resources, significant challenges have been posed to the sustainable development of many countries across the globe. Green supply chain management has long been considered to play an important role in supporting these sustainability challenges. Indeed, the attention of both scholars and practitioners towards understanding how to effectively make global supply chains eco-friendlier has constantly risen over the years. This report aims to offer an up-to-date literature review on the main initiatives proposed by companies and policymakers to contribute to the greening of global supply chains and to delineate directions for future research. Data is collected and classified by means of structured keyword-based exploration on science search engines, cross-reference snowballing, and content analysis. Results are presented focusing on three main classification drivers, namely: Geographical dimension: a country comparison of the existing initiatives is presented. Industry dimension: an overview of the existing practices adopted by five relevant industries. Digital technology dimension: contributions are analysed highlighting the role and level of adoption of digital innovation in support of the environmentally sustainable practices. |
