The work analyzes the concept of "green" chains of added value in the context of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development and the directions of its practical implementation in the activities of companies. The author emphasizes that Environmental Supply Chain Management and Sustainable Supply Chain Management have many common features, but these two areas are not interchangeable. While green supply chain practices aim to improve the health of the environment, sustainable supply chains focus on reducing their impact on many areas of life to ensure that the industry can continue to operate in the future. The work presents a systematization of directions for the promotion of "green" supply chain management practices. It concludes that public authorities can become a driving force behind the "greening" of value chains, striving for greater environmental sustainability through the development and enforcement of regulations and providing direct support to firms in their greening efforts. However, the main drivers are those firms that choose to green their own operations or those business partners upstream and downstream for regulatory, cost efficiency or marketing/corporate image purposes.
