Track: Sustainability in Supply Chain, Enterprise Operations and Strategies

Abstract

This report focuses on the area of Green Supply Chain. The purpose is to investigate which main barriers that firms and supply chains encounter in their work towards an environmentally responsive supply chain. The articles were used to find connections and similarities to get a result and draw conclusions. The result is divided into two main headings; internal and external barriers. The primary internal barriers are resources and technical issues. The barrier that consists of resources is divided into financial resources and resources in the form of competence. The primary external barriers are suppliers, regulations, and competitiveness, and consumers. Finally, a conclusion was made that there is a possibility for companies to change potential barriers to drivers and enhance their competitive advantage while having a sustainable supply chain.
