The purpose of
this literature review is to compare the difference between the
concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable
supply chain management (SSCM) in relation to the factors of
sustainable development and supply chain management in the
literature. In order to achieve this objective, we proposed
three factors of sustainable development and five factors of
supply chain management. Based on these factors, the analysis of
20 definitions of GSCM and SSCM identified is performed. The
results showed that the differences between the two concepts are
that GSCM definitions are generally based on environmental
factors. While the SSCM definitions are based on the three
levers of Sustainable Development (SD) (environmental, economic
and social) at the same time. However, the flow and the
stakeholder factors present the similarities between the two
approaches. Consequently, studying two approaches mutually can
provide the companies the possibility to choose the
implementation of GSCM or SSCM approach, which can help
manufacturing practitioners in their decisions to increase their
sustainable development goals. |
