Abstract

The present study is to analyze the important literature on low carbon supply chain management (LCSCM) in the part of logistics and transportation in green supply chain management (GSCM). The intention of this manuscript is to review the relevant literature on (LCSCM) and its classification. It also aims identifying key decision-making issues in LCSCM. The logistics and transport sector contributes just over a third of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, creating largest-emitting sector in numerous developed countries. The benefits, discredits and complications of low carbon supply chain management are explored based on the supply chain management theory. In conclusion, some public policies are proposed to support the implementation of low-carbon supply chain management.
