• Resumen

  • The literature on sustainable/green supply chain management (SSCM/GSCM) has been non-uniform in terms of defining constructs, variables, and causal relationships among constructs. This article reviews the impact of SSCM/GSCM on firm performance with a view to identifying the most commonly used practices and proposing new constructs, variables, and construct relationships by drawing from the literature on SSCM/GSCM, reverse logistics, closed-loop supply chains, and strategic management. This article also builds a conceptual framework, grounded in theory, linking GSCM practices with firm performance, and presents propositions that may be tested in future studies on SSCM. Finally, implications of this research for practitioners and researchers are highlighted
