Sustainability Performance Measurement for Green Supply Chain Management

Abstract

This article focuses on sustainability performance in supply chain management (SCM) and adding the “Green” concept to it so as to emphasize the importance of environmental issues and the need of eco-friendly systems. The purpose of this study is to propose a model for evaluating the sustainability performance of green supply chain management (GSCM). This article seeks to develop key performance measures for GSCM incorporating considerations of sustainable development (SD).We present a literature review on green supply chain management and sustainability performance measurement. Key indicators for the green supply chain performance measurement under the context of sustainable development are derived from a literature. We propose an analytical model to explore the influence of green practices on the sustainability performance in supply chain. This is a first step towards providing a comprehensive overview that explains the relationship between GSCM and sustainability performance. We conclude by suggesting perspectives for future research.
