GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES IN THE OIL INDUSTRY: ASYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW APPROACH

Abstract

The research aims to identify and analyse current green supply chain strategies used in the oil industry, along with the opportunities that enable their implementation and the challenges that hinder their effectiveness. This systematic literature review focuses on identifying and analysing green supply chain strategies (GSCM) within the oil industry. The research incorporates journal articles with ABS 4 and 3-star standards according to the ABS ranking 2021. Additionally, it includes industry reports that clearly discuss practices, implementation ideas, supporters, and obstacles in GSCM for the oil sector.

The research follows the interpretivism paradigm, qualitative design, and systematic data collection using PRISMA. Thematic analysis has been used for analysing the collected information.

Analysis shows that technology integration, governance compliance, and human resource management are key strategies followed by businesses as part of their green supply chain process. Findings also reflect that there are multiple internal and external aspects that support the implementation of the green supply chain process. It has been identified that businesses are facing multiple challenges while implementing the green supply chain process. These resistance factors operate together or individually based on the business structure
