With a great emphasis on both social and environmental responsibilities, sustainable supply chain management has gradually been adopted and promoted as an innovative business model. In sustainable supply chain practice, the choice of sustainable suppliers relates to the long-term development of a company. While the environmental performance of suppliers has been commonly considered, the social dimension has not yet received enough attention. This paper first proposes a novel criteria system for evaluating sustainable suppliers from three aspects and six dimensions, and then introduces an integrated evaluation model with a novel hybrid information aggregation. To verify the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method, a real case of a large supermarket is introduced and analyzed. The research results show that (1) the indicator system based on Triple Bottom Line theory can serve as a framework of sustainable supplier selection for manufacturing and circulation enterprises; (2) the introduction of hybrid information aggregation can effectively handle the uncertainties of indicator scores under the realistic fuzzy environment and objectively reflect the intentions of the scorers; and (3) in comparison with the TOPSIS algorithm, the priority order finally obtained is consistent, but the proposed model shows more robustness in the sensitivity test.

“…The relative importance of corporate sustainability by DEA requires an empirical investigation that will confirm that investors must pay more serious attention to a company's green image and to the reality of long-term sustainability rather than short-term profit [35]. A large number of studies have therefore employed DEA to evaluate logistics providers [36][37][38][39][40][41]. Singhal and Singhal [42] described the usage of DEA for purposes of supply chain management.…”

Balancing economic development with environmental protection has become a critical concern worldwide. However, along with the highly competitively global marketplace, economic factors are known to directly affect an enterprise's development and its future business. Therefore, selecting the right partner for sustainable collaboration that will lead to improved business performance and reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is a significant problem for many enterprises. In addition, investigating the economic impact of companies that are charged to protect the environment is becoming increasingly problematic. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the comparative efficiencies of 16 Green Logistics Providers (GLPs) in the USA from 2012 to 2015, and the projected four-year period of 2016-2019, by means of an integrated approach that combines the grey forecasting model GM (1,1) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results show that there are two GLPs, Knight Transportation and the Union Pacific Corporation, that possess a higher efficiency level and are achieving positive technical change. However, this study also determined that Hyster-Yale Materials Handling and CSX Corporation did not reach an acceptable efficiency score; therefore, they should improve technical efficiency to mitigate environmental concerns. This completely integrative methodology has the potential to provide the best decision-making strategies for finding suitable collaborative partners who are able to meet the sustainability requirements in most economic and environmental areas.

“…The MCDM method of ELECTRE I type proposed in this research note makes it possible to meet such a need since, on the one hand, it clearly falls under the suppliers (of logistics services) selection problem, and on the other hand, it offers to any company producing goods or services, the opportunity to select a powerful set of partners via several criteria of different nature. The criteria considered in such engineering approaches are not just from economic rationality, based on minimizing costs, but can also refer to environmental and social/societal aspects, whose centrality is now emphasized in the current context of sustainable development; this is the case of reverse logistics in which LSPs play an increasingly important role, as indicated in the academic literature (Min & Ko, 2008;Colicchia et al, 2013;Muhindo et al, 2014;Guarnieri et al, 2015;Centobelli et al, 2017;Li et al, 2018).…”

This research note aims to propose a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) based on ELECTRE method to solve the logistics service providers (LSPs) selection problem. In the contemporary global market, this selection represents a strategic process and a complex issue, as it involves various qualitative and quantitative criteria as well as decisions. The proposed model consists of two phases: (1) a survey of French firms was carried out so as to identify the factors that should be considered in the LSPs selection decision; (2) an application of the model, as well as its comparison with the weighted sum, were conducted. The approach uses criteria that are important for the firms that participated to the survey. The results indicate that the ELECTRE method suggests a better ranking of the LSPs than the weighted sum, initially used in the case study. The proposed MCDM model can provide the guidelines and directions for the decision makers to effectively choose LSPs in the current competitive environment. In addition, this study fills a gap in the literature on LSPs selection problem, where MCDM methods are seldom used.
