Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on sustainable performance (SP) (economic, environmental and social). This analysis will help companies to choose between GSCM and SSCM practices according to their needs. This study has provided a classification of the 16 supply chain (SC) practices influences on the three performances. Another categorisation of GSCM and SSCM practices among 16 SC practices was established based on literature articles. Finally, a comparison was made between the effects of GSCM and SSCM practices on each sustainable performance. The results found a positive relationship between SSCM practices and the three dimensions performance: economic (50%), environmental (34%), and social performance (33%). Moreover, the GSCM practices have a significant impact on the environmental performance (58%) and economic performance (29%), but no influence on social performance was discovered.
