The purpose of this paper is to propose a model to the performance assessment of GSCM. Design/methodology/approach A model is proposed grounded on a literature review on GSCM performance after which the causal relationships and prioritization of the sub-criteria are analyzed by fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory technique in a company operating in the cement industry. Findings An integrated holistic performance assessment model incorporating specifically six criteria and 21 sub-criteria is applied which represents causal relationships and prioritization of sub-criteria. Research limitations/implications The proposed model can be generalized because an integrative framework can be used in future empirical studies to analyze performance of GSCM. However the causal relationships and prioritization among sub-criteria are analyzed based on the needs and capabilities of the individual company, therefore the causal relationships found are company specific. Practical implications The proposed model can be hired and implemented by companies striving for GSCM. This model allows companies to assess their current GSCM performance analyze causal relationships and prioritize sub-criteria. Originality/value Several studies have analyzed performance assessment in green supply chains, however to the best of the authors' knowledge no study has taken an approach to performance assessment in GSCM that combines environmental economics/financial logistics operational organizational and marketing in the same framework. In addition the cause-effect relationships identified will be the base for performance improvement.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSustainability, Fuzzy DEMATEL, Green supply chain management, Cement industry, Performance assessmentCHINA, MODEL, DEFUZZIFICATION, IMPLEMENTATION, UNCERTAINTY, INTEGRATION, ADVANTAGE, PRESSURES, STRATEGYPerformance AssessmentGreen Supply Chain ManagementSustainabilityCement IndustryFuzzy DEMATELArticle
