The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global supply chain managers to reassess their operations. Developing a green supply chain requires successfully integrating environmental responsibility principles and benchmarks into supply chain management practices. In the past, there have been few studies on the most effective strategies for reducing the environmental impact of supply chains and improving their sustainability. This study used the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to construct a structural model evaluation system of the green supply chain management (GSCM) to evaluate the interdependent relationships among dimensions and criteria. A GSCM evaluation system was created after using the DEMATEL-based ANP (DANP) to convert the GSCM evaluation indicators and impact factors into degrees of importance. This study explores the obstacles and challenges that organizations face when implementing GSCM practices and how these challenges can be overcome. The results found that organizational changes had the most significant impact, given that they would also improve the other three dimensions. Among the 16 evaluation criteria, resource allocation and market expansion optimization were the most important. Based on these findings, the study proposed specific improvement strategies that corporations and other stakeholders could use to adopt GSCM practices.

In recent years, the advancement of electronic technology has been driving a boom in the semiconductor industry worldwide. When implementing business activities, those involved strive to pursue the balanced development of the economy, society, environment, and ecology. Our proposed model provides a systematic analysis process to help conduct a comprehensive evaluation and determine priorities in the semiconductor industry’s pursuit of sustainable development. In the proposed model, we determine the weights of evaluation criteria using the Best Worst Method, which overcomes the shortcomings of AHP. Meanwhile, we incorporate the concept of the aspiration level to optimize the fuzzy TOPSIS technique. The results reveal that the two most important criteria are green resource integration and pollution-discharge treatment for sustainable development in the semiconductor industry. In the traditional TOPSIS method, pollution-discharge treatment is considered the expected value, leading the decision-maker to believe that no improvement is required for pollution-discharge treatment. The model proposed in this study can overcome the abovementioned shortcoming and offer more reliable managerial implications.
