Globally, organizations are under enormous pressure to implement green supply chain processes due to growing environmental concerns. Subsequently, organizations and firms have become more conscious of their suppliers' green innovation ability. However, the selection of the most optimum supplier concerning green innovation ability remains a challenging task that needs to be analyzed. Thus, this study develops an integrated fuzzy and grey-based methodology to analyze and prioritize suppliers for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the context of Saudi Arabia. Initially, the study identifies 4 criteria and 20 sub-criteria through extensive literature review with respect to suppliers' green innovation ability. Later, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) computes weights of criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)-Grey was employed to rank the suppliers. The process of assigning weights to criteria and sub-criteria involved twelve experts from academics and industry. The results of Fuzzy AHP indicated that the "Green Innovation Initiatives" is the most significant criterion for the supplier selection. The results of TOPSIS-Grey revealed that the "Supplier-3" is the most optimum supplier having the highest potential of adopting green practices among other suppliers. The overall results provide adequate feedback for organizations and firms to maximize their ability to curb environmental impacts from their upstream activities.

“…Sustainable procurement requires managers to purchase goods and services from not only the lowest cost suppliers but also from those that provide value for money, short and flexible delivery time, and are capable of managing the social and environmental aspects associated with the production process (Krause, Vachon, & Klassen, 2009;Hussain, Al-Aomar, 2017). From the operations point of view, the challenge is deploying the social and environmental practices regarding of operations (Gimenez, Sierra, & Rodon, 2012;Sodhi, 2015).…”

Sustainable procurement requires an understanding of the full impact of purchase throughout the entire life cycle of the product or service, irrespective of location. The aim is to investigate the adoption of sustainable procurement in some Brazilian chemical companies. Questionnaires were sent to professionals from the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (ABIQUIM) and from thirty-seven associated companies. The results were used to elaborate empirical illustrations about sustainable procurement practices in the Brazilian chemical industry context. Although the companies did not have a prescriptive supplier selection model that incorporates social-environmental criteria, most companies had more restrictive standards than the legislation and they supported suppliers to improve their social-environmental performance. In addition, that actions related to social and environmental issues occur in policies and documents and are reflected through middle and upper management commitments. It indicates that there are some organizational directions to incorporate social and environmental questions. However, no materialization in actions along the procurement process.

“…Supply chain management has been defined as “the integration of key business processes from end‐user through original suppliers that provides products, services, and information that add value for customers and other stakeholders” (Hussain & Drake, ). This means that the impact of sustainability is not limited merely to the companies but also extends to their suppliers (Hussain & Al‐Amor, ). In fact, many social sustainability issues have created a sense of urgency for supply chain managers.…”

The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for the identification, categorization, and prioritization of social sustainability motivators across four main stakeholders of healthcare supply chains. A survey tool is initially used for the identification of motivators of social sustainability that are relevant to the healthcare supply chain. The exploration phase identified 34 motivators that were grouped to introduce a hierarchal framework. Finally, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is utilized to prioritize the criteria and subcriteria of motivators of social sustainability. The results of this study identified five main categories (Organizational Practice, Media and Reputation, Excellence and Awards, Technology and Innovation, and Attitude) and 34 subcategories. The AHP results assigned the highest priority to Media and Reputation and Organizational Practice. The framework developed in this study provides healthcare professionals with a structured approach that will be helpful in the acceptance of social sustainability across the chain. The proposed approach can be adapted to the healthcare industry in different contexts, and the study findings can provide insights and guidelines for the effective adoption of sustainability, in general, and social sustainability across different supply chains, in particular. Most of the previous research did not explore the various motivators across healthcare supply chains in terms of relevance and priority. There is also a lack of conceptual and structured approaches for identifying and prioritizing the motivators of social sustainability.
