Abstract

AbstractUnder the background of economic globalization, selecting a path of low-carbon economic development and developing green supply chains are the inevitable choice of realizing the sustainable development for the enterprises. In this paper, we investigate the optimization decision problem of supplier selection in green procurement under the mode of low carbon economy. Concretely, we construct a new evaluation system for green supplier selection by considering commercial criterion and environmental criterion, and then present a decision method with 2-tuple linguistic assessments for green supplier selection. In this proposed decision method, all original decision data are transformed into linguistic 2-tuples, and then a ranking method based on 2-tuple weighted averaging (TWA) operator and 2-tuple ordered weighted averaging (TOWA) operator is presented to rank all alternative suppliers. Moreover, we provide an application decision making example of green supplier selection and compare our method with t...

Introduction

With the intensification of market competition, people pay more and more attention to the environment pollution and low carbon economy. In the background of coordinated development of economy and environment, green supply chain management (GSCM) is developed rapidly and is considered as an important way for enterprises to achieve sustainable development [3]. It is of great practical significance for enterprises to solve environmental problems and achieve sustainable development through the implementation of GSCM [4, 5]. In the GSCM under a low-carbon economy mode, the competition means of enterprises have developed gradually from quality competition, service competition and brand competition to green competition, and the international green trade barriers are threatening the export of our products and directly affect the competitiveness of our business in the global market. Green procurement is an efficient procurement, which considers that how to reduce negative impaction on environment that bring from procurement, and to meet the requirements of products and services for the buyers under the condition of costs controlling
