Abstract :
Purpose: Green supply chain management is based on both integrating the supply chain management and environment management, controls the environmental effects of products in their life cycle via sharing the information and coordination. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and rank the "Green Supply Chain Management" in the petrochemical industry, as well as identification of sub-indicators of these major dimensions as research sub-goals. Methodology: In order to achieve the goals and answer the research questions, this research has been done in two steps. In the first step, with the study of scientific literature and the opinions of environmental experts, green supply chain management, and petrochemical industry, the indicators affecting green supply chain management were identified based on the main dimensions extracted and the basis for the preparation of the first questionnaire. After collecting and analyzing the data and determining the mean of society and the importance of dimensions and indicators, four demensions among 5 and 11 indicators of 22 indices were selected. In the second step, the DEMATEL method was used to analyze the causal and causal factors and rank the effective dimensions and indicators. Results: The results indicate that the dimensions of society, organizational participation, the indicators of the formation of the working group, senior management support, community expectation from the company and environmental education and training have respectively the most importance and the most weight this industry.
