Abstract
Based on the progress in the international research on sustainability and supply chains, this paper aims to analyze how the concept of Sustainable Supply Chain Management has been explored in papers published in major Brazilian journals and conference proceedings, especially regarding the research areas of operations management and sustainability. Recognizing the theme as incipient in Brazil, there are few published studies, mainly in relation to journals, with a total of 44 papers focused specifically on the topic. The literature review indicates that the understanding of the topic includes recurrent discussions with environmental or economic dimensions. However, a comprehensive definition of the concept, i.e., including social issues, is lacking. Therefore, this creates a research gap and an opportunity for Brazilian researchers to contribute to the gradually developing field.DOI: 12660/joscmv8n1p29-45URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv8n1p29-45

We present a discussion about Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) publications in the selected conference proceedings and academic journals in order to specify what the focus of our research is and how academics position themselves in the current debate, aiming to build a pervasive discourse
Summary
Frequent changes have occurred in several industries and organizational environments, requiring firms to continuously adapt their strategies to remain competitive These adaptations can be identified in the relationships that organizations establish with each other in consequence of the evident transformation related to integration, collaboration, and information sharing among these actors and their stakeholders. Relevance has been given to supply chain management (SCM), in which the emphasis of competitive relationships has shifted from companies to supply chains. This inter-firm integration has become a promising strategic area capable of generating value and competitiveness for those involved (Brito & Berardi, 2010). Even though supply chain structures and business processes remain in their current form, the reasons why organizations sought integration along their supply chains have changed
