Construction projects are complicated, requiring careful management of resources. This is the phase at which effective supply chain management becomes essential to guarantee the timely delivery of materials and equipment, eventually leading to successful project completion. Traditionally, cost, time, and quality have always been prioritized, but there's a growing desire for sustainable and environmentally friendly supply chains. The negative environmental impacts of supply chains are acknowledged by most industries; however, implementing Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in the construction industry is challenging, despite the growing awareness of the environmental degradation associated with supply chains. Therefore, this research paper focuses on a systematic literature review to find out factors that influence GSCM implementation and obstacles that hinder it. This study further investigates the opportunities associated with greening supply chains in the construction sector. Furthermore, it provides a framework for the implementation of GSCM practices in the construction industry that are both financially feasible and environmentally sustainable. This involves reducing the amount of waste produced and resources consumed at each step of the supply chain, from the extraction of materials to their construction and demolition. Additionally, GSCM encourages using renewable energy sources and recyclable materials, resulting in a more environmentally friendly construction process. This provides ample insights and opportunities for the construction industry to adopt GSCM into its supply chain practices to improve efficiency as well as overall environmental sustainability.
