Criteria for resilient-green supplier selection.

Criteria of greennessDefinitionReferences

Eco-designProduct materials are easy to recycle and reuse, using as little material and energy as possible, thus reducing the impact on the environment[14, 94]
Green procurementPurchasers are trained to purchase raw materials in accordance with green principles (environmentally friendly and harmless), and purchasers can communicate with product designers in a timely manner[78]
Pollution productionAir pollution, liquid waste, solid waste, and harmful materials produced per unit of products[13, 95]
Green packingGreen packaging meets the 4R1D principle: reduce, reuse, reclaim, recycle and degradable[96]
Green imageAbility to produce products in accordance with green principles and the proportion of consumers accepting green products[1, 97]
Life cycle managementManagement (cost control, process design, and energy use) of the green products life cycle including design, material selection, manufacturing, marketing, and logistics[1]

Criteria of resilience
Surplus inventoryUnder the disruption environment, surplus inventory can make up for production interruption, which can effectively temporarily prevent supply chain breakdown[8]
Factory segregationEnterprises has scattered and spare factory, each factory has the same technical conditions and material reserves in order to make up for production activities quickly[56]
ReliabilityEstablish good cooperative relationship with partners with recognition; enterprises can provide materials and services in time, accounts are clear and true, and disruption cost is known[60]
ReorganizationAbility to integrate resources rapidly and reconstruct corporate culture and organization[8]

Coincident criteria
LogisticsGreenness: planning reasonable transport routes to reduce CO2 emissions; setting up recycling logistics, realizing the packaging reuse, and scientifically integrating this route into delivery route; use of new-energy vehicles
Resilience: change the delivery route and implement the mode of multimodal transport rapidly when the original route is impacted
[98, 99]
WarehousingGreenness: building materials are environmentally friendly, recyclable, and do not release harmful gases; classified warehousing of different products, rational layout of warehousing space, and avoiding production circuitous transportation
Resilience: the warehouse is made of antiseismic and sunscreen building materials to provide physical protection for products in the natural disasters
[100]
Cooperation commitmentGreenness: managers actively take green initiatives; signing environmental commitment among partners to form green supply chain upstream and downstream linkages
Resilience: enterprises have scheduled backup suppliers and establish contract relationship with backup suppliers in time when interrupting cooperation with other suppliers
