Among the environmental management approaches, the concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has become one of the most important in recent years. The GSCM approach addresses all processes and activities that make up the supply chain echelons (procurement, manufacturing and delivery), also including design, purchasing, marketing and reverse logistics. Although the literature review identified the existence of a variety of environmental performance indicators framed the Pressure-State-Response approach, indicators applied under the GSCM approach were not found. Therefore, this paper presents a methodology for the construction of a multicriteria indicator to measure the environmental performance under the GSCM approach, based on 8 processes and 32 activities identified from the literature review. The indicator was applied in a group of 14 companies in the coffee region of Colombia. The results indicate a heterogeneous performance among the companies and a significant lag in some of the analyzed processes.
Entre los enfoques existentes de gestión ambiental, la gestión de cadenas de abastecimiento verde (Green Supply Chain Management, GSCM), se ha convertido en uno de los más relevantes en los últimos años. El enfoque GSCM aborda todos los procesos y actividades que componen la cadena de abastecimiento en los eslabones de aprovisionamiento, manufactura y entregas, incluyendo también el diseño, las compras, el marketing y la logística inversa. Aunque la revisión bibliográfica permitió identificar la existencia de una gran variedad de indicadores de desempeño ambiental que se enmarcan en el enfoque Presión-Estado-Respuesta, no se encontraron indicadores aplicados bajo un enfoque GSCM. Por tanto, el presente artículo expone una metodología para la construcción de un indicador de corte multicriterio que permite evaluar el desempeño ambiental desde el enfoque GSCM, con base en 8 procesos y 32 actividades detectadas en la revisión de literatura. El indicador fue aplicado en un grupo de 14 empresas de la región cafetera de Colombia. Los resultados indican un desempeño heterogéneo entre las compañías analizadas y un rezago importante en algunos procesos.
