Abstract

To deal with the destructive environmental effects of organizations, a closed-loop supply chain (CLSP), which has a significant role in the circular economy, has been introduced as one of the effective environmentally friendly tools. For a cohesive CLSP, appropriate supplier selection is a requirement. For this purpose, a three-step research method is used in this research. We start by presenting a hierarchy structure of criteria classified into operational capabilities, system management capabilities, culture capabilities, technological capabilities, human capabilities, sustainable energy consumption, and circular waste management dimensions. Then, we evaluate the performance of suppliers with the best–worst method (BWM). Finally, to provide useful insights about the performance of suppliers and the criteria used, we applied the geometrical analysis for interactive aid (GAIA) plane on the results of the BWM. We evaluated the performance of five suppliers in the pharmaceutical industry by employing this hybrid methodology. On-time delivery was identified as the most important criterion. The visualisation with GAIA permits us to understand the outcomes better and to communicate them.
