Green supply chain management/green finance: a bibliometric analysis of the last twenty years by using the Scopus database

Abstract

Mostly, the product manufacturer and activities related to transportation have a greater influence on the supply chain and the environment. Hence, the green investment in water, biodiversity protection, waste treatment, resources, and climate change alleviation help in enhancing industrial production. Thus, for the enhancement of green growth, the industries must adopt green financing by making investments in ecology, climate change, and carbon reduction. Despite having the greatest growth in green supply chain management, still, the implementations of greening the product and processes have not been seen properly in many industries. A bibliometric analysis was conducted through VOS viewer version 1.6.7. of last twenty years (2001–2021). A total of 2385 articles were retrieved from the Scopus database. The results revealed that China, India, Iran, and Taiwan have a vast collection of articles and have very strong international collaborations. The most cited authors were Sarkis, J., Zhu, Q., and Khan, S.A.R. The results also suggest that green supply chain management research was related to the field of engineering, environmental science, energy sciences, social sciences, and business management. Some new areas are discovered like green innovation, green information technology, green productivity, corporate environmental responsibility, green investments, green credit, and green credit policy. As evidenced from our bibliographic database search, it is observed that integrated work on green supply chain management and green finance is limited, and this makes this research work to be novel. This study is beneficial for credit managers and policymakers. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11356-022-21764-z.

Digitalization and artificial knowledge for accountability in SCM: a systematic literature review

“…In accordance with Fink (2019), the selection procedure culminated with choosing the Scopus and Google Scholar databases.

A two-decade history of women’s entrepreneurship research trajectories in developing economies context: perspectives from India

“…This study examined 196 publications from the Scopus database and Google Scholar (GS) between 2000 and 2022. Scopus has been considered the most extensive curated and approved abstract and index database for academics, governments and commercial enterprises (Fahim and Mahadi, 2022). In line with the work suggested by Martineau and Pastoriza (2016), only peer-reviewed journal articles being more trustworthy and having a more significant influence than other authored sources were considered for the current study.…”

Mediation approach of knowledge management process towards supply chain performance under green technology: an empirical analysis

“…Employee supply performance depends on knowledge acquisition, sharing, and utilization. Green supply chain research was conducted in ecological science, engineering management, energy science, business management and social science (Fahim and Mahadi, 2022). The agility for target customer engagement is analyzed through knowledge and information sharing in the green supply chain to support business continuity (Kaur et al ., 2022).…”
