Green Supply Chain Management in Future: Systematic Literature Review

The construction sector is known for its high complexity, dynamic environments, and vulnerability to delays and cost overruns, making effective supply chain management a critical component for project success. Current studies show that traditional supply chain management models remain inadequate for addressing the complexity and uncertainty of the construction sector, with limited adoption of digital technologies and a lack of integrated approaches combining Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), digital transformation, highlighting the need for innovative, technology enabled, and sustainability oriented SCM frameworks. This study aims to review the latest developments in green supply chain management (GSCM), with a focus on its role, challenges, and the direction of future practices and research to optimize performance in complex sectors. Key challenges include inter-party coordination, on time delivery, and inventory management especially in the highly uncertain construction sector. The rising frequency of supply chain disruptions highlights the importance of adaptive and responsive risk management strategies to build system resilience. While digitalization and technology support efficiency, adoption remains limited among small industry players due to resource constraints and system integration issues. This review applies the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) framework and uses tools such as Mendeley to support the literature review process. It presents key statistical insights on supply chain implementation, noting that traditional models are often inadequate in addressing the complexity and uncertainty of multi-stakeholder, geographically dispersed operations. Nevertheless, supply chain management across various sectors continues to evolve in line with global trends such as digital transformation and sustainability efforts. Practices like Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are increasingly becoming mainstream.
