Abstract: Abstract Protection of environment and human health are two important issues to which a huge attention has been paid in recent years. These issues have been taken into account by supply chain partners, so that GSCM and HSCM issues have been raised at this area. This paper proposes a method in green supplier selection and examines suppliers of a pharmaceutical company in Iran in order to achieve a green health supply chain. In this regard, following a literature review, the domestic suppliers of effective raw materials for Tehran Chemie Pharmaceutical Co. are analyzed and prioritized by using 18 healthy and green criteria via fuzzy ELECTRE method. Then, by the results of fuzzy ELECTRE, suppliers are classified via Pareto chart and ultimately regarding position of suppliers at each category the suggestions are proposed.
