Abstract

A green supply chain is a network of organizations that provides products and services to satisfy customers while striving to have the least possible negative impact on the environment and assure the implementation of socially responsible practices. Thanks to a literature analysis, this paper identifies the structures, the primary strategic and the operational elements to form a framework to help managers and researchers in the evaluation of green supply chain management alternatives.
