Mapping barriers to green supply chains in empirical research on green banking

The role of green banking (GB) in the green supply chain (CSC) is a relevant issue for green growth. The literature has pointed to some barriers identified as obstacles to the development of GSC. Since the publish of the framework of OECD for green growth, which is a reference for most of the countries, empirical research on GB has proliferated. Despite this, the barriers to the development of GSC have not yet been linked to empirical research on GB.Through a literature review of the empirical research on GB, this paper identifies by scientific impact the banking role, and we contribute with a mapping of the relationship among barriers to the development of GSC and conclusions of empirical research regarding GB, also considering the link with main topics of GB research. Additionally, it displays the main vectors related to area, year and methodology for each barrier and topic of empirical research on GB.
