A gestão da cadeia de suprimentos sustentáveis é uma prática crescente entre as organizações que buscam melhorar seu desempenho ambiental. Nesta perspectiva, a Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) pode ser empregada para considerar os impactos ambientais e de saúde humana causados em toda dimensão da cadeia de suprimentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar práticas de ACV para a gestão da cadeia de suprimentos sustentáveis. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, identificando artigos para a realização do estudo, buscados pelos termos: “life cycle assessment”, “supply chain management”, “sustainable supply chain management” e “green supply chain management”, em três bases de dados. Usou-se o EndNote® para gerenciar as referências e o Methodi Ordinatio para classificar os principais estudos. Os resultados apresentaram uma visão das práticas de ACV na cadeia de suprimentos, como: auxílio na tomada de decisão para selecionar fornecedores; identificar recursos mais sustentáveis; modelar a cadeia de suprimentos conforme anseios sustentáveis; determinar as demandas de energia das cadeias de suprimentos; promover um produção mais limpa; avaliar os impactos ambientais de cada elo da cadeia: como a pegada de carbono e a pegada da água; promover avaliação das emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE).

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the universe of published articles that propose frameworks about the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) and performance in the period from 1995 to 2014, in order to propose a conceptual model that can be applied to future studies, considering the green profile besides the practices of GSCM and performance. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The investigation revealed a lack of relationship among the organizations' profile, its environmental, economic and operational performance and GSCM practices. Key methodological aspects: The relationship among constructs was established through bibliometric analysis obtained in the models/frameworks of GSCM practices and performance extracted from the databases "ProQuest", "EBSCO", "JSTOR", "Web of Science" and "Scopus". Further, the content analysis and network analysis were then performed. Summary of key results: GSCM internal and external practices, environmental performance, economic performance and operational performance were revealed as main topics addressed in GSCM. Moreover, it was noted that studies on internal practices prevailed over those addressed to other practices. Key considerations/conclusions: The models studied did not consider whether the corporate green profile could improve the performance of the organization. Therefore, they did not simultaneously measure environmental, economic and operational performance. It was concluded that the addition of the green profile in conjunction with GSCM practices and performance allows for a more in-depth analysis of the degree of a company's involvement with GSCM, as well as its intended objectives and results achieved in the future.

The purpose of this chapter is to identify the dimensions of green supply chain and their impact on manufacturing practices. In this study, the authors used two extended strategies. First thorough review of literature was done considering articles from reputed journals. Second the factors identified from literature review was further refined through experts by forming a problem solving group consisting of seven experts from the manufacturing sector. These factors were used to develop the green supply chain management model using Interpretive structural modeling. Further MICMAC analysis was used to identify the driving and dependence power of the factors. The results of the analysis are very encouraging. Finally, the authors have presented the relationship management strategy for sustainable manufacturing practices.

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and performance (environmental, economic and organisational) within the construction sector in Jordan. Based on the literature review, the survey designed included46 key items. Data was collected from 133 managers in the construction sector. Multiple regression analysis wasundertakento test the study hypotheses. The analysis showedmixed results, green construction and investment recovery wassupported in three hypotheses; internal environmental management was supported only with organisationalperformance. The practical implicationsof the findings include creating more effort to attaining benefits from the world trade organisation(WTO) initiatives to establish long-term relationships with foreign customers to learn and enhance green practices in Jordan’s construction sector. This work is one of few studies thatinvestigatesGSCM practices in the construction sector ofa developing country.
