In a globalizing and networking world, supply chain management is increasingly linked with the environmental and sustainability assessment and management of economic activities. This study provides an overview of the evolution and development of Green Supply Chain Management concept in the intersection of the two areas over the last 20-25 years, evaluating current challenges and expected future trends. It focuses on trends in Green Supply Chain Management, highlighting the role of stakeholders and measurement. There are several parallel trends in the development of the area, such as risk focus and opportunity focus. Similarly, the activity-based approach focuses on improving the environmental performance of the participants along the supply chain, while the product-based approach focuses on the greening of the final product throughout its life cycle. While the study focuses on the environmental aspects of supply chain management, the social focus that emerged much later and the concept of sustainable supply chain management aimed at integrating them, are also outlined. No matter how challenging Green Supply Chain Management is, in a world that is no longer based on single businesses but on corporate networks, environmental expectations should be defined at this level, if we are to prevent economic agents from outsourcing environmental impacts, pushing the problems somewhere else.
