Abstract :
Green supply chain management (GSCM) is crucial for environmental compliance and business development of companies. Companies look for new ideas and methods to achieve environmental sustainability. GSCM is an innovative idea which involves all business value-adding operations, such as purchasing and in-bound logistics, production and manufacturing, distribution, out-bound logistics, and collaboration with patrons and suppliers with the minimum negative environmental impact. The main purpose of the present study was to find the interrelationship between green supplier criteria applying a novel model. Thus, experts’ opinions were investigated through nominal group technique (NGT) to understand the interrelationship and causal preferences of the green supplier evaluation aspects through Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The degree of importance factors shows that environmental performance is a proper index for displaying companies adopting their supply chain into the GSCM as the third most important criterion. The results of the priority weight analysis of the criteria demonstrated that the production Capability has minimal impact on GSCM adoption. The findings also revealed that the production capability falls under the effect group, and green design and production capability are correlated.
