Empowering sustainable practices: Actionable insights for navigating green supply chains in uncertainty

Abstract

This research demonstrates how Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) can boost organizational performance and mitigate environmental risks in uncertain environments. The critical role of supplier selection in building resilient supply chains is a central focus. We employ the Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to uncover and evaluate the most influential factors in GSCM criteria. This quantitative approach helps us identify crucial criteria by assessing supplier performance. While limitations in generalizability and potential biases are acknowledged, the study emphasizes the strategic necessity of supplier selection in GSCM. It provides actionable insights for managers, enhancing decision-making and contributing to sustainable supply chain practices.
