supplier evaluation, sustainability, sustainable supplier evaluation, AHP methodologyAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretically uniform, methodologically adherent and practically applicable framework for supplier evaluation, based on the principles of TBL sustainability. In order to identify a theoretically uniform sustainable supplier evaluation model, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. The outcome was the development of the new sustainable supplier evaluation approach, coupled with AHP methodology. The proposed model was empirically tested in paper wholesaling industry setting. The final outcome of the model’s testing was the provision of suppliers’ assessments and rankings. The paper also discusses implications regarding theoretical uniformity, methodological adherence and practical applicability of the developed model, and provides ideas for future research avenues.
