چکیده
In recent years, the area of corporate sustainability and green supply chain management has been gaining popularity. Corporate Sustainability refers to ensuring that it contributes to a better quality of life today without compromising the quality of life of future generations. Green Supply Chain Management is commonly understood as the integration of environmental thinking into supply chain management. Sadly however, while interest in Corporate Sustainability is increasing, the supportive literature that collects the sustainability issues in current literatures is rather scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide a current review of researches and challenges in both these areas. © 2014 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved.
