Abstract :Along with the progress in industry, population growth, the development of international trade relations and the increase in production volume in the world, supply chain networks have expanded. Although all these developments are in favor of human beings, the fact that the resources in the world are not unlimited and the ecological balance will not be able to handle this growth has led to the necessity of protecting the environment and required governments, companies and consumers to take precautions. One of these measures is green practices that aim to make supply chain management environmentally friendly. The aim of this study is to provide information about the development and scope of the concept of green supply chain management within the framework of literature research and to present cases from green supply chain applications of companies in different sectors. Thus, it is to evaluate the environmental, social and economic effects of green practices on companies.
