Combined Traditional & Green Supplier Selection Criteria used in Indian Chemical Industries

Supply chain is a network of supplier, manufacturing, assembly, distribution and logistics facilities that perform the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these products to customers. With increasing concern towards environmental protection, industries in western countries have already started considering green factors unlike the Indian chemical industries which are still very much reliable on traditional factors than green factors in supply chain management. The objective of this study is to identify the traditional and green supplier evaluation criteria taken together, which are considered very important across the Chemical Industries in India. This paper also highlights the main important criteria for supplier selection by combining traditional and green criteria in supply chain management.
