Abstract
The trend of the fourth industrial revolution in the field of energy, like other sectors, indicates that the path of production, development and approaches to energy use in the world is changing every day. This change can be seen in the growth of new energy production in developed countries by renewable energy. Owing to the global energy crisis all around the world and the exhaustible non-renewable energy resources, as well as increasing the pollution and green supply chain due to the indiscriminate use of fossil fuels, the need to use sustainable energy, especially In the industrial sector, which accounts for 40% of energy consumption in our country, has been paid attention to. The present study developed and prioritized green supply chain strategies with uncertainty over time under fuzzy conditions in Mobarakeh Steel Company. First, the internal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were identified based on theoretical foundations and experts’ opinion. Then, the green supply chain strategies of Mobarakeh Steel Company were developed using the SWOT method. Fuzzy ANP method was used for weighing the dimensions of sustainability while the TOPSIS and TODIM methods were used for weighing the strategies. The results indicated that among the indicators of sustainability, "social" indicator had the first rank, "environmental" indicator had the second rank, and "economic" indicator had the third rank. In addition, SO strategies had the first rank, ST strategies had the second rank, WO strategies had the third rank, WT strategies had the fourth rank.
