Abstract

There has been a trend in interest towards firms´ environmental sustainability activities to improve environmental practices in their supply chain. This study aims to present linguistic preferences to deal with supplier evaluation of firm´s green supply chain management criteria (GSCM) with incomplete information. Nevertheless, the suitable supplier is a key strategic direction in eliminating environmental impact on supply chain management for manufacturing firms. The firm´s GSCM criteria and supplier selection need to be unified as a system to improve the firm´s performance. The results and conclusions are discussed.
