Evaluation of Green Suppliers Based on a Hybrid Weighting Approach and GRA Method

Abstract

To align with the national dual carbon strategy and facilitate low-carbon production for enterprises, this paper incorporates the concept of green supply chain management and develops a scientifically sound evaluation index system for green suppliers by comprehensively considering five factors: quality, availability, cost, environmental management performance, and technology. The analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method are employed to assign subjective and objective weights to each evaluation index while the grey correlation degree analysis method is utilized to rank and sort suppliers in order to select the optimal green supplier. Finally, an empirical example is presented to verify the reliability of our model.
