Abstract: Being a greener enterprise is the final goal of obtaining sustainable supply chain management, achieving environmental management (EM) and ensuring environmental performance. To provide scholars with knowledge of research trends of green enterprises, we carried out this research project, took 1142 articles as research objects and three methods to review the whole picture of green enterprises research. We found that this field is mainly concentrated in three areas. While small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) greening, EM and pollution emissions have been the enduring topics, green innovation has received the most attention from researchers. Furthermore, we found that scholars pay a great amount of attention to China-related research and Italian scholars have played a leading role in the future green enterprise research.
