Abstract

With the continuous deepening of economic globalization, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the contradiction between economic development and environmental protection is intensifying. Issues such as environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and intense market competition urgently need to be addressed. As the terminal link in supply chain system, the operational efficiency of retail enterprises has a direct impact on supply chain performance. Therefore, it is imperative for retail enterprises to implement green supply chain management. This paper reviews relevant domestic and international theoretical and practical research, clarifies the research framework, and then provides a detailed introduction to the relevant theories of green supply chain management. Subsequently, it analyzes the current implementation status and existing problems of green supply chain management in retail enterprises. Finally, it proposes practical solutions to these problems, aiming to facilitate the effective implementation of green supply chain management in retail enterprises.
