Identifying and modeling factors affecting the sustainable and green supply chain of new energies

The industrialization of societies and growing demand for goods have brought many social and environmental disasters. That the approach to new energies and sustainable and green supply chains has faced the luck of researchers and industrial managers. The purpose of this research is to extract, model, and rank the factors affecting the sustainable supply chain and other new energies in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province.

Using the Delphi technique, we screen the criteria extracted from the literature. So, by using structural equations, we examine the relationships between variables and the assessment and validation of the model, and finally, using the Analysis Hierarchy Technique (AHP), the research factors are ranked.

The factors affecting the green supply chain were under two criteria and eight sub-criteria, and environmental education was given the first priority. The factors affecting the sustainable supply chain were identified and designed with five key criteria and eleven sub-criteria, among these, internal organizational factors have been given the most importance.

Originality/Value: 

Finally, the use of environmental technologies, and the correct management of the green and sustainable supply chains in order to use new energies, together with the training of employees, leads to a reduction of crimes and the use of resources, and consequently, a reduction of energy consumption and environmental pollution.
