The thesis "Evaluation and selection of suppliers using environmental criteria" by Karvela Vasiliki at the Technical University of Crete focuses on developing a comprehensive model for the evaluation and selection of suppliers using environmental criteria. It emphasizes the increasing importance of green supply chain management due to environmental concerns and regulatory pressures. The methodology includes a literature review on supplier selection criteria, emphasizing green criteria, and the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods. The study highlights the benefits of integrating environmental considerations into supplier selection, such as reducing environmental impact and achieving sustainability goals, while also acknowledging challenges like supplier resistance and the complexity of gathering environmental data. The conclusion underscores the necessity for businesses to adopt green practices in supplier selection to ensure long-term sustainability and competitive advantage.
