Abstract

Green supply chain integration has recently gained significant attention in the sustainability discourse. Adding to the efforts of previous literature, this paper offers a comprehensive review of the current literature and systematically highlights the methodological gaps as well as the contributions. The paper specifically investigates the bibliometric and systematic method reviews through journals, cited papers, authors, countries, author’s keywords, and methodological choices among others, and proposes future research directions to advance green supply chain scholarship. 68 papers were extracted from Web of Science and Scopus. The review employed both bibliometric (using R studio) and systematic methodological approaches to the analyses. The findings revealed inconsistency in Green Supply Chain Integration (GSCI) and performance relationship, arising from measurement variations. Hence, the GSCI-performance nexus remains inconclusive. We argue that the Supply Chain Integration (SCI)-performance paradox is grounded in the incongruity between the dimensions of SCI and its respective performance outcomes. The implications and avenues for future research are also discussed.
