Abstract
The necessity to include environmental considerations in the assessment of supply chain performance is gaining increasing attention from both a research and practical perspective. Scientific contributions focusing on this topic are progressively being submitted to the academic community consideration. Given this trend towards a proliferation of papers, the need to systematically review and classify the existing contributions provides the motivation for this study. The methodology adopted consists is applying the Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA) that combines a Systematic Literature Review approach to identify the most relevant articles to be included in the analysis and Citation Network Analysis in order to unfold the dynamics of the field under study and to identify clusters of papers. From this analysis a classification of papers emerges in accordance with ISO14000 framework. This paper contributes to the growing debate on environmental indicators for supply chains, by analyzing the existing body of knowledge on this topic and providing a classification of the environmental indicators.
