Küresel ısınma, doğal kaynakların tükenmesi, çevre kirliliği ve iklim değişikliği gibi çevresel sorunlar, işletmeleri tedarik zincirlerinde daha sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu uygulamalar geliştirmeye yönlendirmektedir. Bu çalışma, Yeşil Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimi’nin (YTZY) uygulanmasını şekillendiren temel dinamikleri inceleyerek işletmeleri yeşil uygulamalara yönelten itici güçleri ve uygulama sürecini sınırlayan engelleri sistematik biçimde ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda Web of Science (WoS) ve Scopus veri tabanlarında alandaki çalışmalar taranmış ve ilgili makaleler değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Literatürdeki genel yönelimleri belirlemek amacıyla ilk olarak incelenen çalışmalarda kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ve en çok yayın yapan ülkeler gibi temel bulgular incelenmiş; ardından kullanılan yöntemler, sektör bağlamları ve temel bulgular tematik olarak sınıflandırılarak bütüncül bir çerçeve oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular, düzenleyici baskılar, müşteri talepleri, rekabet avantajı arayışı ve yeşil inovasyonun çevresel performansı iyileştirme potansiyelinin YTZY uygulamalarının başlıca itici güçleri olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşın yüksek maliyetler, teknik bilgi ve altyapı eksiklikleri, müşteri farkındalığının düşük olması ve tedarikçiler arasındaki işbirliği yetersizliği uygulamanın önündeki temel engeller olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM): Drivers and Barriers

Öz

Environmental issues such as global warming, depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution and climate change are driving businesses to develop more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in their supply chains. This study aims to systematically reveal the driving forces that lead businesses towards green practices and the barriers that limit the implementation process by examining the fundamental dynamics that shape the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). In this direction, studies in the field were searched in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, and relevant articles were evaluated. To determine the general trends in the literature, fundamental findings such as the keywords used in the studies reviewed and the countries with the highest number of publications were first examined. Subsequently, the methods used, sectoral contexts, and key findings were thematically categorised to establish a comprehensive framework. The findings show that regulatory pressures, customer demands, the search for competitive advantage, and the potential of green innovation to improve environmental performance are the main drivers of GSCM applications. However, high costs, lack of technical knowledge and infrastructure, low customer awareness, and insufficient cooperation among suppliers stand out as the main barriers to implementation.
