ABSTRACT
Green procurement research has gained momentum in recent years due to increased sustainability-related concerns. The purpose of the study is to conduct a methodical literature review and understand the past, present, and future trends in green procurement research. The list of papers was downloaded using Scopus (https://www.scopus.com), which is the largest abstract and citation database for scientific research journals, books, and conference proceedings. Through strict screening, only journal papers are selected for conducting the review of literature. The extant literature is categorized according to multiple classification schemes. A bibliometric analysis of the reviewed literature is also presented. The review findings show that a total 87 papers have been published over a span of 20 years. The number of publishing started going up from the year 2008 and significantly from the year 2015. The chapter further presents an illustration on green supplier selection problem through application of Grey-based methodology. The study finally concludes with a key takeaway for green procurement professionals.
