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. This shift is driven by increased environmental and social issues, along with growing public pressure for responsible practices. The negative environmental impacts of traditional supply chains are acknowledged by most industries; however, implementing Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices to reduce these is still imperceptible. Implementing GSCM in the construction industry is challenging, despite the growing awareness of the environmental degradation associated with traditional 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 sustainableAlthough GSCM provides a ray of hope in resolving these issues in the construction, a careful collation of the research in this domain is necessitated.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. The goal of the research is to illustrate how effectively GSCM can lower the environmental impact and save costs in the construction industry by putting into practice innovative concepts and technologies. 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.
