This study investigates the synergy between green procurement and green logistics within the context of sustainable supply chain management. The objective is to explore how integrating these two elements can enhance environmental performance and operational efficiency. A narrative review methodology was employed, synthesizing literature from peer-reviewed databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. The results highlight the significant role of digital technologies and reverse logistics in fostering green procurement-logistics integration. Organizational leadership, technological capacity, and interdepartmental collaboration emerged as key enablers, while structural barriers and insufficient digital infrastructure were identified as major obstacles. The study emphasizes the need for supportive policy frameworks and data-driven interventions to promote the adoption of integrated green practices. It also calls for further research into the long-term effects of such integration and the exploration of cross-national differences in implementation. The findings suggest that a holistic, systems-based approach is essential for advancing sustainable supply chain solutions.
