With the increasing environmental consciousness of people, how to reduce the environmental impacts of the enterprises´ actions has become the common concern of both customers and enterprises. Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an effective way to reduce the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycles. The performance assessment of green supply chain (GSC) is an important part of GSCM, and the greenness and closed-loop of GSC make its performance assessment more complex. The performance assessment of GSC is discussed and the performance assessment index system is introduced. Furthermore, the performance assessment model of GSC is established using the fuzzy assessment method, and it is explained with a case study.
