Background: Reducing negative environmental impacts has become a significant managerial issue. It includes also supply chain participants, e.g., by introducing such concepts as green supplier evaluation or green supplier development. The goal of this paper is to identify concepts aimed at reducing negative environmental impacts in the supply chain (the “green concepts”) and to determine their scope of use. Methods: The research method used in this paper is the review of the existing literature. The reviewed literature is related to the area of reducing negative environmental impacts in supply chain. Results: The results concern the classification of green concepts in supply chain and determining their scope of use, including green supply chain management, green purchasing and green supplier development. Conclusion: The main research implication is providing a basis for further research related to reducing negative environmental impacts in supply chain. It includes also identifying relationships between these concepts and observable trends in the global economy, such as sharing economy and circular economy. The results might also contribute to implementing the green concepts in companies interested in reducing negative environmental impacts in their supply chains. The originality of this work lies in taking into consideration various concepts aimed at reducing negative environmental impacts and discussing them in the context of the supply chain.

Background: The concepts of closed loop supply chain and circular economy are both based on the introduction of circular flow of material goods. Both concepts are becoming increasingly important not only due to the significance of reducing negative environmental impacts, but also due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The aim of this article is to determine the role of closed loop supply chains in circular economy and to determine the possibilities of interplay regarding practical application of these concepts. Methods: The research method used in this paper is the review of the existing literature. The reviewed literature is related to the areas of closed loop supply chains and circular economy. The study focuses not only on the possibilities of interplay between these two concepts, but also similarities, differences, and related operational concepts, such as slowing or intensifying loops of flows of material goods. Results: The results concern the possibilities of interplay between closed loop supply chains and circular economy and possibilities related with building the closed loop supply chains in circular economy. One of such possibilities is building circular networks consisting of closed loop supply chains. It might include collaboration related to reducing the use, reusing, and recycling of material resources. Conclusions: The main possibility of interplay between closed loop supply chains and circular economy is collaboration between actors of different supply chains aiming at building circular networks. The main research implication is providing a basis for further research related with building closed loop supply chains and circular networks in circular economy.

Background: This article aims to determine the role of environmental cooperation and collaboration in supplier relationship management. The following concepts are introduced: supplier relationship management, environmental cooperation and environmental collaboration. Supplier relationship management aims at building bonds with suppliers that exceed the transactional approach to market cooperation. Environmental cooperation and collaboration involve all operations that are performed with the active or passive involvement of suppliers and their clients. Firstly, the concept of supplier relationship management is described. Secondly, the characteristics of environmental cooperation and environmental collaboration are introduced. Next, the observations and findings are presented. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations for future research are described. Methods: The research method used is an analysis of Polish and foreign literature related to the subject of environmental cooperation and collaboration in the context of supplier relationship management. Results: The results concern the validity of considering environmental cooperation and collaboration as a significant field of supplier relationship management and developing a conceptual framework for environmental cooperation and collaboration in the context of building relationships with suppliers. Conclusions: The conclusions concern the types of environmental interaction and relationships with suppliers, taking into account the role of mutual trust, commitment and goal consistency between buyer and supplier.

Wstęp: Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu określenie roli współpracy środowiskowej i współpracy w zarządzaniu relacjami z dostawcami. Wprowadzono następujące pojęcia: zarządzanie relacjami z dostawcami, współpraca środowiskowa oraz współdziałanie środowiskowe. Zarządzanie relacjami z dostawcami ma na celu budowanie więzi z dostawcami, które wykraczają poza wymianę handlową. Współpraca i współdziałanie środowiskowe obejmują wszystkie operacje wykonywane przy aktywnym lub pasywnym zaangażowaniu dostawców i ich odbiorców. Na początku opisano koncepcję zarządzania relacjami z dostawcami. Następnie wprowadzono cechy współpracy środowiskowej i współpracy w zakresie ochrony środowiska. Dalej przedstawiono obserwacje. Na końcu opisano wnioski i zalecenia dotyczące przyszłych badań. Metody: Zastosowaną metodą badawczą jest analiza literatury polskiej i zagranicznej związanej z tematyką współpracy i współdziałania środowiskowego w kontekście zarządzania relacjami z dostawcami. Wyniki: Wyniki dotyczą znaczenia współpracy i współdziałania środowiskowego jako istotnego obszaru zarządzania relacjami z dostawcami oraz opracowania ram koncepcyjnych dla współpracy i współdziałania środowiskowego w kontekście budowania relacji z dostawcami. Wnioski: Wnioski dotyczą rodzajów interakcji środowiskowych i relacji z dostawcami, z uwzględnieniem roli wzajemnego zaufania, zaangażowania i spójności celów między nabywcą a dostawcą.
