Abstract

Today, in the worlds intensive and competitive environment with the existence of different industries which result increases of environmental pollution and its destructive consequence many different organization are concerned with environmental issues in supply chain and selecting the appropriate strategic indicators in green supply chain management which is one of the most important approaches for improvement in the competitive world. Since Esfahan Mobarakeh Steel Company is one of the major polluting industries in the country, in this study the aim is to identify and prioritize strategic green supply chain indicators for the Esfahan Mobarakeh Steel Company. For this reason, after extracting the strategic green supply chain indicators and by putting these indicators in the form of balanced scorecards, using Delphi technique, the final model of development strategic supply chain management was obtained and finally, using the logarithmic fuzzy preference programming was prioritized. According to result, among balanced scorecard perspective, internal processes alocated the highest priority. Among the indicators of internal processes Competitor Pressures, Growth & learning perspective Regulatory Pressures, Customer Market Pressures, Financial perspective Economic Benefii are considered to allocate the highest priorities, respectively
