The planning and execution of the entire process in a way that protects the environment, beginning with the supply of the raw materials and ending with the waste or leftover product produced by the consumer, is known as the “green supply chain.” The traditional supply chain has been replaced by a green one as a result of the rapid depletion of vital resources, the quick rise in environmental consciousness, and the growing significance of environmental preservation goals on a global and national scale. Supply chain sustainability is the control of the social, economic, and environmental effects of goods and/or services throughout their life cycles and the encouragement of ethical business conduct. The main objective of supply chain sustainability is to establish, preserve, and advance social, economic, and environmental values for all stakeholders in the supply chain. Along with these three primary objectives, risk concerns are also covered in this chapter, and key elements for the sustainability of green supply chains are examined. A hierarchical green supply chain sustainability framework is brought to the literature, with sub-criteria identified for each main criterion. The problem of weighing the importance of each criterion that makes up this framework is thereafter handled as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The weights of the main and sub-criteria are determined using the best-worst method (BWM). The findings show that out of 36 sub-criteria, “cost,” “environmental management system,” and “pollution control” are the 3 that are the most crucial for sustainability.
