Abstract: This paper argues for the use of fuzzy TISM and fuzzy DEMATEL in building theory of green procurement. To address the gap in existing green procurement literature, this study first systematically reviews the green procurement literature, secondly, these drivers were refined through expert interview from South African manufacturing sector and thirdly, it illustrates the use of fuzzy TISM and fuzzy DEMATEL method to find the intensity of influence of green procurement drivers and make a comparative study of elements. The paper concludes with managerial implications and directions of future research.
