Green supply chain management means integrating environmental awareness into supply chain management, including product design, raw material acquisition and selection, the manufacturing process, the distribution of final products to customers, and the management of end-of-life products. However, there are driving and unfavorable factors for manufacturing enterprises to choose green suppliers. Therefore, this study proposed a new IPA-DEMATEL model by integrating importance-performance analysis (IPA) and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to explore green suppliers' selection, evaluation, and management strategies.
