With the increasing awareness of environment protection, green production is one of the most important issue for every company. Green supplier selection is an essential operational function to establish sustainable partnership and improve supply chains performance. Supplie r selection can be considered an essentialcomponent of green supply chain management because of its core effects. A performance measurement system is necessary to determine green supplier?s ability to collaborate with industry. While the research on conventional supplier evaluation and selection is abundant but considering environmental issues are limited.This study aims to establish hybrid method for green supplier selection and evaluation. In this paper, suppliers? performance is evaluated based on both economic and environmental criterion such as cost, quality, service, green product, pollution control, and environment management.
