For example, the European Union had published the Environmental Directives, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS), Eco-Design Requirements for Energy Using Products (EuP) and Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) in 2006. In Taiwan, 14.48% of the exported value to Europe is electronic products. Therefore, enterprises should take these regulations into consideration when they want to export products to Europe, otherwise, the products will not be able to sale in the European market, and may even be imposed hefty fines due to violation of regulations. A supply chain system can be large in scale and complicated. Any of one supplier’s failures may affect the flow of goods and services and that will cause a costly loss and delivery delay. An enterprise should not only concern on their own produce and manufacturing, but also take a strict control on the materials and components from their supplier partners. Considering the transfer of risk from a supplier is needed. The past research on supply chain risk management tends to focus on the risk of product itself, like the risks of quality, cost, on time delivery, R&D… etc.. This paper assesses the consideration of green issue for inbound supply chain risks like regulation, risk, physical risk, litigation risk and so on. By using the analytic hierarchy process and interviews to compare the importance of risk factors, evaluates the weight of risks and make a rank to access the possible risk from the suppler. Thus to understand the importance of considering the environmental risks when a company makes a decision of chooses their supplier partner.
