Abstract

Purpose: In light of the adverse effects of economics on the environment, corporations have recognized the necessity for sustainable practices in supply chain management, particularly in retail. The global movement towards sustainable development is increasingly drawing academic interest in the research issue of green practices within the retail industry. It is acknowledged that previous research has approached such a subject from various perspectives, methods, and contexts, leading to inconsistent results, which creates the need for a systematic review regarding the mentioned topic. Research design, data, and methodology: This study utilizes the Scopus database to aggregate research on "green practices in retail." Through the data cleaning process, the refined dataset is analyzed using VosViewer 1.6.20, conducting citation analyses of documents, authors, organizations, journals, and countries, followed by co-occurrence analysis of research keywords and bibliographic coupling analysis. Results: The study initially delineates the evolution of this research subject over 14 years, from 2010 to 2024, highlighting the most referenced papers, authors, organizations, journals, and countries. The research delineates the main research directions, hence finding gaps in the literature. Conclusions: The study proposes a future research agenda based on the results of the analyses
