Abstract :Recently increasing popularity and the substantial need for sustainability in supply chain requires new designs of procurement which is being regarded as the most important driver to push the suppliers to become more sustainable. Manufacturing firms, in the name of survivability on the market, accept sustainability principles and transform their corporate culture in this respect. The power of procurement is being regarded yet as a regulatory tool by the national governments and international organizations while establishing sustainability in supply chains. In this study, we intend to establish a multi-criteria-decision-making model to select the most sustainable supplier/manufacturer conforming to the current purchasing requirements of a sustainable manufacturing company. In doing so, the procuring company will foster the suppliers to becoming a sustainable company in the supply chain by both a product redesign and by the whole manufacturing process.
