Abstract
Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), companies are increasingly integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into their supplier selection processes. Supplier selection plays a crucial role in supply chain risk management, a key target of the SDGs, as it extends beyond traditional cost and efficiency metrics to include sustainability and ethical practices. By adopting sustainable supplier selection criteria, organizations can enhance their environmental impact, promote social responsibility, and achieve long-term financial and operational resilience. However, traditional supplier selection methods often fail to capture the complex, multifaceted risks associated with modern supply chains. Conventional approaches typically focus on limited factors, such as supplier reliability or price competitiveness, while overlooking broader ESG-related risks that can affect supply chain performance. Additionally, many existing tools do not support collaboration or information sharing across supply chain tiers, hindering the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate risks that propagate through the network. To address these gaps, this research proposes a comprehensive supplier selection framework based on a mathematical modeling approach. The framework integrates supply chain dynamics, material flows, and risk propagation within the supplier network. It considers a wide range of risks, including ESG, operational, and material risks, providing a hol
