“…In recent years, researchers and practitioners started to integrate new dimensions such as sustainability, green practices and risk into the supplier evaluation process [3,5,9,11]. Especially, the use of intangible and qualitative factors has increased: e.g., supplier relationships, reputation of the company, risk, level of trust, communication, and corporate social responsibility [4,15,30,50].…”

“…Especially a growing number of researchers started to incorporate risk minimization objective into this problem [6][7][8][9]. Supplier-related risks are among the most frequently discussed risks in the supply chain (SC) literature [10,11]. Supply risk is an umbrella term that includes the factors affecting the inbound flow of goods or services; e.g., supplier failures, late deliveries, quality problems, financial instability of suppliers, and poor supplier relationship management strategies [10,12].…”

Supplier evaluation and selection is one of the most critical strategic decisions for developing a competitive and sustainable organization. Companies have to consider supplier related risks and threats in their purchasing decisions. In today's competitive and risky business environment, it is very important to work with reliable suppliers. This study proposes a clustering based approach to group suppliers based on their risk profile. Suppliers of a company in the heavy-machinery sector are assessed based on 17 qualitative and quantitative risk types. The weights of the criteria are determined by using the Best-Worst method. Four factors are extracted by applying Factor Analysis to the supplier risk data. Then k-means clustering algorithm is applied to group core suppliers of the company based on the four risk factors. Three clusters are created with different risk exposure levels. The interpretation of the results provides insights for risk management actions and supplier development programs to mitigate supplier risk.

“…Ideally, the business should exhibit the resilience to continue on its selected sustainability path despite societal and environmental changes. However, in practice, for example, in economically difficult times, an organisation's strategic activities tend to regress to a business-oriented survival strategy, and environmental efforts are treated as a lower priority [36]. As explained above, the shift between profitability or acceptability and sustainability orientation is quite significant in terms of the source of responsibility and the conception of sustainability, which will be explained below.…”

“…Companies could initiate efficiency measures for sustainability from a purely businesseconomic starting point; i.e., for cutting costs, with potential simultaneous positive impacts on decreasing the environmental loading. However, cost-cutting exercises could have a reverse effect on environmental protection because companies that are focused on cost reduction are less likely to adopt environmental values or policies [36].…”

While research has addressed the maturity of corporate responsibility for sustainability, the maturity levels of bioenergy business have not been determined. The objectives of this research were to characterise the maturity levels of bioenergy corporate responsibility for sustainability and outline an approach by which companies can operate at the most mature sustainability excellence level. Literature, three workshops attended by bioenergy experts and a case study on biobutanol production in Brazil were used to develop the maturity model and approach. The results characterise the profitability, acceptability, and sustainability orientation maturity levels through sustainability questions and methods, and list the components of a systemic, holistic approach. Although the shift of business mindset from sustainability-as-usual to sustainability excellence is challenging, a systemic approach is necessary to broadly identify sustainability questions and a multitude of methods by which they can be answered.

The methods and tools for the performance measurement and evaluation of the green supply chain management are very important elements for the construction and function of this type of supply chain. The result is a presentation of the considerations underlying a very general model, which presents some selected tools, but no breakdown of individual industries. The considerations undertaken are important and have scientific added value as usually in practice, a very large number of tools are used to assess the supply chain, which are not always correlated or adapted to the specificity of the chain. It is worth pointing out which of the already used or completely new tools and methods will be most useful for assessing the green supply chain. The structure of the paper covers the theoretical and empirical. It includes an introduction, our goals and hypotheses, state of the art, methodology, empirical findings, and discussion. We present the definitional differences between green and sustainable supply chains and focus on the selection and identification of methods for the framework model for evaluating the green supply chain. In the next step, the theoretical and selected method and tools were compared to a survey of Poland. On the basis of the survey, we present the findings and discussions found in this area. The main methodology used includes a literature review, a survey analysis using a questionnaire and statistical tools. The survey was carried out in 2015 in sample organizations in Poland. The research results showed that organizations were aware of the environmental elements of measuring and assessing the supply chain from an environmental point of view, but their use depended on many factors: the area, size of the organization, or the industry. If certain boundary conditions are met and the organizations are aware of the essence of environmental aspects in the chain, then they are applying green measures to the supply chain. These findings provide a glimpse into the measurement system and show that organizations still have yet to understand the essence of green and sustainable performance measurement, the meaning of its application, and the benefits it brings. However, traditional measurement still plays a large role, so it is important to reflect on how to convince organizations to pay more attention to environmental aspects, while at the same time applying a green supply chain assessment model. These results are a framework in which to start building a green supply chain assessment model. The empirical research aimed to answer the question of whether theoretical and sustainable management tools have already played a role in perceiving and assessing the green supply chain.
