Navigating Green Supply Chains: An Innovative Analysis of Influencing Factors in Uncertain Environments

Dr. Pedro Ramos De Santis

 

ABSTRACT:

This research explores the strategic role of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in enhancing organizational performance and mitigating environmental risks. Emphasizing the criticality of supplier selection in shaping overall supply chain resilience, our study utilizes the advanced Fuzzy DecisionMaking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to identify and assess influential factors in GSCM criteria. Employing a quantitative approach, we apply the Fuzzy DEMATEL method to evaluate GSCM criteria, specifically focusing on supplier performance and essential GSCM factors. The findings unveil crucial criteria by evaluating supplier performance, showcasing the method’s effectiveness. However, recognizing limitations in result generalizability and potential biases, our research underscores the pivotal role of supplier selection in GSCM implementation, offering valuable insights for managerial decision-making. The study’s uniqueness lies in applying the Fuzzy DEMATEL method, contributing to sustainable supply chain practices discourse and offering managerial implications.
