Abstract

This study aims to develop a sustainable supplier performance evaluation model within a Green Islamic Procurement framework by integrating environmental sustainability and Islamic ethical principles into the decision-making process. The research adopts the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as the primary method. The selection of AHP is based on its ability to structure complex multi-criteria decision problems hierarchically, incorporate both qualitative and quantitative criteria, and generate objective priority weights through systematic pairwise comparisons supported by expert judgment. The evaluation model consists of six main criteria: Flexibility and Response, Compliance with Purchase Order/Contract, Price, Product Quality, Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Principles, and Experience and Expertise. Sustainability considerations are embedded through environmental responsibility indicators aligned with Islamic values of accountability (amanah) and public benefit (maslahah). The results indicate that Flexibility and Response (20.8%) and Compliance with PO/Contract (20.6%) are the highest priority criteria, followed by Price (18.2%), Product Quality (16.4%), Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Principles (16.2%), and Experience and Expertise (7.7%). The final ranking shows Supplier PB2 as the main supplier (0.388), followed by Supplier PB3 (0.327) and Supplier PB1 (0.285). The findings demonstrate that AHP provides a structured and transparent decision-making framework capable of integrating sustainability considerations within Green Islamic Procurement practices, thereby supporting responsible and value-based supply chain management.
