A Review of Food Manufacturing Companies' Selection Toward Green Suppliers

Abstract

The issue of supplier selection is one of the main branches in the field of supply chain management. Finding qualified suppliers and forming long-term, in-depth relationships with them is a strategic issue. Companies in the food industry face particular sustainability challenges in terms of natural resource supply and consumption, food safety, waste management, and unfair trade relations, and consumers and other stakeholders often have the most demanding requirements for sustainability in this industry. This paper summarizes the gaps in existing research on supplier selection in the food industry through a systematic literature review to inform the direction of future research.
