Abstract

Companies are increasingly addressed toward sustainability, due to internal agents as senior management and employees and external stakeholders, such as national and international regulations, society and the market, to mitigate and/or eliminate impacts to the environment. To do this, companies establishing control strategies and mitigation of environmental impact and cleaner production, as green procurement or green supply chain management. The latter is a management approach that integrates the design stages, manufacturing, purchasing, distribution and logistics through practices that involve the entire supply chain, seeking to achieve the TBL (triple bottom line) to maximize the environmental, economic and social benefit. A literature review was proposed in Scopus bibliographic manager and Springer Link, from Boolean operators to analyze the evolution of the concept, practices that compose and trends on the field. It was found that even the concept of GSCM is under construction and there are altogether 231 articles that raise various trends and approaches GSCM, most of them focused on the automotive and construction.
