Abstract
In today’s competitive and environmentally conscious industries, the ability of organizations
to adapt and respond is more important than ever. This study focuses on overcoming the obstacles
faced by the Iranian automobile sector by highlighting the significance of incorporating green
supply chain techniques. The research intends to integrate organizational operations with environmental sustainability goals by utilizing a MULTIMOORA strategy for supplier selection. The Iranian automobile sector, facing substantial environmental challenges, requires a strategy framework for selecting environmentally friendly suppliers in order to sustain competitiveness and fulfill ecological
obligations. The study develops a supplier selection model based on extensive research and expert
knowledge. The Delphi and MULTIMOORA techniques are employed to assess and prioritize
suppliers according to green criteria, assuring conformity with environmental goals. Data are collected
by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature and engaging in conversations
with industry experts in order to acquire information for the construction of the model. The
results emphasize the crucial significance of trust-based relationships with suppliers, rigorous compliance with quality standards in new product development, and substantial investment in employee training and development. Sector analysts view these characteristics as crucial for promoting
sustainability and gaining a competitive advantage in the Iranian vehicle sector. This study provides
firms with strategic instruments to effectively negotiate the intricacies of green supply chain management, with a particular focus on the need for adopting sustainable practices while selecting suppliers in the dynamic and competitive context of the Iranian automobile industry.
