“…The core competencies of contractors in the post-COVID-19 world may vary, depending on the WCI in which they operate [54]. Compared to the literature [5,9], this study reveals that some core competencies for contractors in the WCI to consider in this environment include the ability to adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances and market conditions, which is likely crucial for contractors in the post-COVID-19 world. As businesses increasingly shift towards digital tools and platforms, contractors with strong digital skills and expertise may be in high demand.…”

“…Over the past decade, one of the most common green supplier evaluation and selection methodologies has been multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) [8]. In the decision-making process, multiple conflicting factors/criteria/attributes must be considered simultaneously to determine an optimal solution [9]. MCDM provides an evaluation framework that addresses practical problems using scientifically based analytical methods that assist decision-makers in effectively addressing various evaluation problems [10].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global supply chain managers to reassess their operations. Developing a green supply chain requires successfully integrating environmental responsibility principles and benchmarks into supply chain management practices. In the past, there have been few studies on the most effective strategies for reducing the environmental impact of supply chains and improving their sustainability. This study used the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to construct a structural model evaluation system of the green supply chain management (GSCM) to evaluate the interdependent relationships among dimensions and criteria. A GSCM evaluation system was created after using the DEMATEL-based ANP (DANP) to convert the GSCM evaluation indicators and impact factors into degrees of importance. This study explores the obstacles and challenges that organizations face when implementing GSCM practices and how these challenges can be overcome. The results found that organizational changes had the most significant impact, given that they would also improve the other three dimensions. Among the 16 evaluation criteria, resource allocation and market expansion optimization were the most important. Based on these findings, the study proposed specific improvement strategies that corporations and other stakeholders could use to adopt GSCM practices.

“…Lakshmanpriya et al [19] state that selecting the right supplier can be one of the most critical decisions for manufacturing firms and that various companies prioritize green suppliers in their selection process. Verma et al [20] show that green supplier selection will help in increasing the environmental sustainability of a company. Kang et al [21] found that the evaluation and selection of green suppliers play a vital role in successful green supply chain management.…”

Green supply chain management is a crucial way to balance economic benefits and environmental impacts. As an important economic aquatic product in China, sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) is facing the dual challenges of economic benefits (profit) and environmental sustainability (material input and emission output). Currently, the sea cucumber industry in China lacks a green supplier screening system, resulting in a fragmented pattern of cooperation among enterprises. Core enterprises in the supply chain cannot assume social responsibility to help and guide upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly improve environmental performance. This study focuses on the selection and evaluation of green suppliers for sea cucumber processing enterprises. Firstly, a green supplier assessment indicator system for sea cucumber processing enterprises was established, and the indicator weights were determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Next taking a large sea cucumber processing enterprise in Dalian, China, as an example, the importance level of each index was evaluated by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE), and the score and ranking of existing suppliers were determined. The validity and practicality of the method were verified. The results show that Supplier 1 (S1) has the highest score, and the price of sea cucumber farming, the cleaner production level of sea cucumber farming, environmental awareness, and long-term cooperation willingness were the most important factors in the selection of green suppliers for sea cucumber processing enterprises, which provides useful clues on the best practice of making sustainable development decisions. With an in-depth understanding of the key factors, suppliers can formulate different prices according to the differences in sales channels to improve the economic deficiencies. Environmental pollution can also be reduced by using clean energy, establishing a recirculating aquaculture system, and using micro-ecological preparations. The conclusions of this study can provide technical support and decision-making suggestions for the application of green supply chain management in China’s aquaculture industry.
