Abstract
In order to adapt to the development of the new times, enterprises should not only care for the economic benefits, but also properly cope with environmental and social problems to achieve the integration of environmental, economic and social performance of sustainable development, so as to maximize the efficiency of resource use and minimize the negative effects of environmental pollution. Hence, in order to select a proper green supplier, integration of the information entropy and Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) under probabilistic uncertain linguistic sets (PULTSs) offered a novel integrated model, in which information entropy is used for deriving priority weights of each attribute and EDAS with PULTSs is employed to obtain the final ranking of green supplier. Furthermore, in order to show the applicability of the proposed method, it is validated by a case study for green supplier selection along with some comparative analysis. Thus, the advantage of this proposed method is that it is simple to understand and easy to compute. The proposed method can also contribute to the selection of suitable alternative successfully in other selection issues.
