In the rising of international treaties and directives of environmental aspects, selecting the suitable green supplier become a critical managerial issues. While the researches focusing on the traditional supplier selection model have reached maturity, green supplier selection problem is on the preliminary stage. Therefore, this study aims on establishing a comprehensive green supplier selection framework to assist the enterprise in making the most efficient decision. Based on the literature, this study proposes a criteria set including green, traditional, and partnership issues. The criteria set takes carbon footprint into account, because the international regulations have paid much attention on the carbon footprint exposure. Moreover, most of the recent studies of green supplier selection use analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and analytical network process (ANP) to evaluate. According to the limitation of methodology, they can treat the smaller scale problem only. This study introduces data envelopment analysis (DEA) into assessment, and combined with AHP/ANP to establish an integrated model. Furthermore, we use the questionnaire of pairwise comparison to gather information of group decision, overcome the inconsistency problem, and establish the assurance region that implemented not only to take the opinion of decision makers into consideration, but also to increase the discriminating power of the model. Merging with the above criteria set, this evaluating model turns into a practical integrated framework of green supplier selection.
