The impact of the enablers of green supplier selection and procurement on supply chain performance

The selection of environmentally friendly suppliers, a critical aspect of supply chain performance, is vital for businesses striving to retain their competitive edge as they increasingly outsource tasks. With growing public concern for environmental protection in recent decades, strategies focusing on green supplier selection and procurement have gained traction. Although numerous studies discuss green supplier selection based on economic criteria, the field of environmental research remains nascent. This research offers an in-depth analysis of supply chain performance, green supplier selection, and overall procurement strategies from both economic and ecological viewpoints. Through a literature review and the grey DEMATEL method, we pinpoint the key factors influencing procurement, green supplier selection, and supply chain performance. Our literature assessment identifies the main elements that enhance supply chain performance, and these findings are further confirmed by expert input. By addressing gaps in current models of procurement and green supplier selection, this study advances decision-making theory. Our findings reveal that our proposed model, which accounts for the intricacies of supply chain performance and the uncertainties in expert feedback, offers an effective solution to the challenges of procurement and green supplier selection.
