Abstract
- The construction industry plays a significant role in improving the quality of the built environment, but its activities also impact the wider environment. Supply chain management (SCM) aims to increase the efficiency of the construction process through improvements in the quality, cost, and time frame of projects. Green SCM has as its purpose reducing environmental impact by opting for eco-friendly materials starting from the design phase in the choice and procurement of materials to be used in construction projects. This study aims to adopt GSCM concepts of the manufacturing industry for application in the construction industry. A literature review was conducted to learn from previous research about the implementation of GSCM in manufacturing to serve as a basis for adopting of this concept for the purposes of building criteria for the implementation of GSCM in the construction industry.
