 Energy efficiency is essential for economic and social development as it provides numerous benefits to various stakeholders, including cost savings, improved competitiveness, profitability and quality. Despite its importance, most firms, especially SMEs, face challenges when implementing energy efficiency measures due to limited access to capital and lack of awareness regarding lifecycle costs. Supply chain management offers a promising approach to addressing these challenges as it allows for the integration of energy efficiency into existing operations. This paper reviews the literature on energy efficiency in supply chains and identifies potential research streams to further advance the field.
