Moreover, advance processing technology and high precision of the stone industry enable the industry to produce stable quality products; hence, it enjoys widely recognized reputation in the stone product market globally. Unfortunately, Taiwan does not have rich mining resources for its stone industry. Facing the pressures of open global market and international competition, it is imperative that the industry introduce the application of green environmental protection concepts into its operations and management, and thereafter define more competitive strategies that would enable the industry to maintain its operating advantages. 　 　　The global environmental protection issue has gradually become an important part of the green supply chain; hence, providing the essential technologies needed in the green supply chain serves as a key factor in upgrading the competitive power of the industry. In advent of a new wave of green industrial revolution, businesses should work together with upstream and downstream supply chain to establish a green supply chain system. Businesses and their suppliers should cooperate for the improvement of their products or manufacturing processes, thereby upgrading the environmental performance of the supplier and end user. Based on practical interviews, we categorize the factors affecting the green supplier evaluation of the stone industry into four primary factors and twelve secondary factors. Then, relative significance of the factors is determined based on the analytic hierarchy process. The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze the supply chain status quo for construction stone material industry. (2) to employ the analytic hierarchy process to establish a set of green supplier evaluation criteria that will serve as a reference in the evaluation of construction stone suppliers. (3) to design an evaluation process for selecting an green supplier in the industry. 　 　　The findings indicate that the criterion of “delivery” in the supplier operating capacity evaluation, the criterion of “technical cooperation skills” in the enterprise manufacturing capacity evaluation, and the criterion of “cost analysis” in the supplier operating capacity evaluation constitute as primary factors affecting the green supplier evaluation process of the construction material industry. An evaluation form with proposed criteria and weights is constructed as well.
