Greening Supply Chains

[Jean Boucher]

Dear Colleagues,

   I'm exploring the literature on the greening of supply chains; does anyone know of any iconic papers in this area? (or something close?) Please respond off list and I will collect and resend.

Cheers!

Dear All,
     Some weeks back I asked for input on greening supply chains. Please see the attached (and pasted below) collection of responses. An interesting start and thanks for all the input!

Stephan Seuring (above) did a widely cited paper on sustainable SCM and Govindan in Denmark has done a lot. It is quite easy to map in scopus, but you need to look beyond green and look at sustainable, closed-loop and circular too –
