Carbon Emission Reduction in Supply Chain Management: A Literature Review

Abstract

The .purpose .of .this .study .is .to .review .the .literature .on .carbon .reduction .in .the .supply .chain .over .the .past .few .years .and .to .present .drivers, .barriers and .performance .indicators. The .issue .of .reducing .carbon .emissions .is .frequently .debated, as .unplanned .and .irresponsible .actions .by .industries .pose .potential .threats .to .sustainability. Companies .are .now .trying .to .minimize .environmental .impact .by .integrating .environmental .concerns .into .their .supply .chain .operations. In .order .to .reduce .carbon .emissions, the .industry .faces .different .drivers, .barriers .and .performance .indicators. Given .the .diversity of .problems .encountered, .the .practices .adopted .to .reduce .carbon .emissions .are .very .varied. Thirty .papers .were .collected .from .previous .studies .and .related .to .discussion .points. The .result .showed .that .good .coordination .with .different .media .in .the .supply .chain .system .would .achieve .common .targets .for .reducing .gas .emissions.

Keywords: carbon emission, supply chain, performance, environmental impact.
