Fig. 4 Framework for supplier selection based on environmental criteria (Jabbour and Jabbour
2009)
Case studies of companies in Brazil”, it was analyzed whether Brazilian companies
are considering environmental aspects for the supplier selection process, through
interviews in five industries. In addition to analyzing whether there is any relationship between maturity in environmental management and inclusion of environmental
criteria for selecting suppliers (Jabbour and Jabbour 2009).
In this article, an important adaptation of a framework stands out (Fig. 4), where the
authors listed quantitative and qualitative environmental criteria for the selection of
suppliers, the ones that supported the questionnaire applied to companies. Although
the framework was not developed by the authors (Jabbour and Jabbour 2009), it
constitutes an important bibliographic reference.
As limitations, the authors emphasize that the results of the case study cannot
be considered a reality in all Brazilian companies. Thus, they suggest that future
research be carried out related to environmental management and insertion of criteria
for selecting suppliers; environmental performance of products and environmental
performance of suppliers; availability of environmental information about suppliers
and selection of suppliers with high environmental performance.
In the article “Applying hazardous substance management to supplier selection
using analytic network process”, the authors proposed a supplier selection framework based on hazardous substance management (HSM) using the analytic network
process (ANP) methodology (Fig. 5). The framework has been tested in electronic
companies (Hsu and Hu 2009).
