Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is a cross-disciplinary field of research that has been continuously growing in both academia and practice. GSCM research has followed different directions, and as the research progresses new arguments, insights, and interpretations have emerged. These research directions have explored GSCM from different theoretical perspectives rather than one dominant theoretical perspective. As GSCM literature continue to grow, the need to evaluate the different theoretical perspectives become manifest in order to advance our knowledge and understanding about GSCM, and to identify new research directions. While it is frequently acknowledged that GSCM has been explored from a variety of theoretical perspectives, only few studies have summarized or classified these theoretical perspectives. This research aims to provide an overview of the popular theories that have been often used to investigate several issues related to GSCM.
