Abstract
This paper reviews the literature on green supply chain management practices over ten years from 2011-2021. The review criteria were based on ROSES's publication standard (RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses). Articles for the study were selected using two leading databases Scopus and Web of Science. After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the retrieved results, three researchers independently evaluated the relevancy of the articles and chose only 35 out of 150 suitable studies which met the standards and were relevant. The review was conducted in two stages. Firstly, citation analysis was done to review the research papers in order to recognize the key areas of the green supply chain management currently being focused on and examined by the research community. The findings based on the thematic analysis fell into these main themes, which are: green procurement, green manufacturing, green distribution, reverse logistics, management commitment and organizational performance. This paper concluded that there is a huge gap in the literature related to methodological choices as quantitative studies are dominant and developed a green supply chain management (GSCM) model.

Study findings explored many imperatively essential areas related to green supply chain management as an emerging topic in today's context
This paper attempts to concentrate on the essence of the significant contributing factors to the processes that led to green supply chain management
Summary
The green supply chain refers to the idea of assimilating sustainable environmental processes into the traditional supply chain. This includes green product design, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, supplier selection, purchasing material, marketing, and end-of-life management (Chin, Tat, & Sulaiman, 2015). Green supply chain practices increase the company’s performance in terms of recycling products, reusing, proper waste management, greater efficiency of assets, positive image building, and greater customer satisfaction (Choi & Hwang, 2015; Cousins et al, 2019). Instead of merely trying to lessen the supply chain's environmental impact, GSCM focuses on driving value creation throughout the supply chain process to reduce the total ecological impact (Choi & Hwang, 2015)
