There is a growing need for integrating environmentally sound choices into supply‐chain management research and practice. Perusal of the literature shows that a broad frame of reference for green supply‐chain management (GrSCM) is not adequately developed. Regulatory bodies that formulate regulations to meet societal and ecological concerns to facilitate growth of business and economy also suffer from its absence. A succinct classification to help academicians, researchers and practitioners in understanding integrated GrSCM from a wider perspective is needed. Further, sufficient literature is available to warrant such classification. This paper takes an integrated and fresh look into the area of GrSCM. The literature on GrSCM is covered exhaustively from its conceptualization, primarily taking a ‘reverse logistics angle’. Using the rich body of available literature, including earlier reviews that had relatively limited perspectives, the literature on GrSCM is classified on the basis of the problem context in supply chain's major influential areas. It is also classified on the basis of methodology and approach adopted. Various mathematical tools/techniques used in literature vis‐à‐vis the contexts of GrSCM are mapped. A timeline indicating relevant papers is also provided as a ready reference. Finally, the findings and interpretations are summarized, and the main research issues and opportunities are highlighted.

“…Empirical studies on reverse logistics include case studies (Goldsby & Closs, 2000;Flapper et al, 2005;Khoo, Bainbridge, Spedding, & Taplin, 2001;Scherpereel, van Koppen, & Heering, 2001), field surveys and interviews (Blumberg, 1999;Guide, 2000;Lund, 1984;Zhu & Sarkis, 2004). Apart from an empirical study on reverse logistics, Fleischmann et al (1997) indicated that quantitative models for reverse logistics have received growing attention.…”

“…In the paper, the operations of facilities located in various countries around the world in terms of their environmental practices and their impact on green supply chain management are evaluated. Another case study of how to green a supply chain is provided by Khoo et al (2001). Hall (2001) examines the question of why fi rms invest in environmental supply chain innovations based on a case of a supermarket retailer and fi ve of its suppliers.…”

The purpose of this paper is the empirical investigation of the status quo of green supply chain management in the German automotive industry from a practitioner's point of view. Several aspects of green supply chain management, such as the point of time of implementation, the driving forces, the relevance of intended goals and their particular realization and the adoption of eco-programs with suppliers and customers as well as internal and external barriers are analyzed. Furthermore, the link to different performance criteria is tested by inductive statistics in order to show the potential of green supply chain management for competitiveness. For this study, managers from the automotive supply industry in Germany were asked about their estimations in this regard. The main conclusion is that managers express the need for green supply chain management on the one hand but also see corresponding problems in terms of required resources on the other hand. Furthermore, the analyses show that green supply chain management leads to higher performance in terms of several performance criteria.
