Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore published literature in green supply chain management (GSCM) domain for the purpose of updating the knowledge of the field and to carry out an analysis of the existing literature. The methodology employed for this research involved collection and classification of 261 research articles in the field of GSCM. A systematic classification followed by critical analysis leads to research gaps in the context of GSCM which paves direction for future research. A framework is developed which helps to understand the implementation of environmental conscious measures into supply chain management. Literature analysis shows that research in GSCM is evolving at a rapid pace. A couple of literature reviews already exist but this paper attempts to extend the review ambit. A conceptual framework is proposed for revamping a traditional supply chain in to an environmental conscious green supply chain. The barriers and enablers acting upon this transformation are also discussed.
