Abstract

The search for new technologies that can mitigate the negative impacts caused by the processes of production and the excessive consumption of raw material, has gained more and more relevance in the business world. In this scenario, the present research aims to identify the contributions that green logistics and green procurement bring to the management of the green supply chain. The present research is justified by the increase in the adoption of ecological practices by the companies, which implies in the continuous search for improvement of the techniques that involve all the practices within the Chain of Green Supply, aiming at greater efficiency of the whole chain. ISO 20400 was implemented, which came into force in 2017, which aims to increase the efficiency of green purchasing practices. The method used was the qualitative exploratory bibliographic research carried out in the secondary databases ACM, EBSCO, Emerald, Academic OneFile (GALE), Scielo, Sciense Direct, Springer, Web of Science and Wiley. A bibliometric analysis of the information obtained was performed. The research concluded that Green Supply Chain Management aims to reduce waste, negative impacts on the environment and maximize profitability. It increases competitiveness through innovative strategies aligned with the organization's strategic objectives, green logistics and green procurement in particular. contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by replacing fossil fuels with alternative fuels, reducing operating costs, adapting transport modes, improving internal communication technologies, investing in personnel training to achieve sustainability.

Highlights

  • The emergence of Green supply chain management (Green Supply Chain Management) has brought the concept of eco-efficiency within the supply chain involving more effective environmental issues throughout the production chain.The issue has gained prominence due to many polluting agents which seek improvement in their processes, and having an awareness of the importance of preserving the ecosystem along the entire production chain, without losing the ability to grow and generate profits.The processes must be committed to eco-efficiency from its conception to the final product-recall for its reuse or final destination.Within the production process, we emphasize the importance of logistics, because it consists of activities associated with the transportation of inputs for production, disposal and storage of products throughout the production chain

  • We emphasize the importance of logistics, because it consists of activities associated with the transportation of inputs for production, disposal and storage of products throughout the production chain

The emergence of Green supply chain management (Green Supply Chain Management) has brought the concept of eco-efficiency within the supply chain involving more effective environmental issues throughout the production chain. The processes must be committed to eco-efficiency from its conception to the final product-recall for its reuse or final destination. We emphasize the importance of logistics, because it consists of activities associated with the transportation of inputs for production, disposal and storage of products throughout the production chain. These logistical activities are responsible for much of the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels, since in Brazil the most used modal is the road. To contribute to the improvement of the management of green supply chains, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the standard ISO 20400 in 2017, which presents guidelines for sustainable procurement practice
