The concepts of circular economy and green consumption have come to the forefront of global awareness and debate in recent years. Corporations now search for means which adheres to the principle of green procurement that promotes economic growth under which the environment remains safe, and sustainable. Applying such ideas to the cosmetic industry, which is made up of visual packagings and high cost consumables, has turned to be more imperative. In this research, based on the green procurement principles, an attempt is made to design an objective evaluation model to measure the “greenness” of cosmetic suppliers. Firstly, sustainable procurement standard (ISO/DIS 20400.2:2016(E)) is used as the axis of evaluation factors, and integrated five other standards: social responsibility standards (ISO 26000:2010), circular economy standards (BS 8001:2017), environment management system standards (ISO 14001:2015), and cosmetic manufacturing standards (ISO 22716:2007). Five dimensions and 29 criteria were then complied.Secondly, four stages of questionnaire surveys for data collection and analysis were conducted on cosmetics-related industry personnel and panels of experts as follows: 1. Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was used to gain a consense from cosmetics-related industries, state-owned enterprises, scholars and experts; and six major facets including 22 criteria were preliminaly filtered. 2. Factor Analysis (FA) was performed on the selected criteria based on the opinions of the cosmetics industry related personnel and four evaluated dimensions with 14 criteria were extracted. 3. Industry, state-owned enterprises, scholars and experts were then invited to fill-in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) expert questionnaires to measure the relative weights of criteria through pair comparison. 4. Taking five international cosmetic raw material suppliers as examples, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was applied for do sythsises evaluation of sustainable performance by gathering cosmetics-related experts’ assessment opinions against the evaluation criteria. From the analysis results, it was found for cosmetic suppliers who wish to take the “green” route, the most highly important evaluation dimension is “Green Purchasing and Production”, followed by “Fair Operating Practices and Moral", “Organizational Governance and Social Responsibility”, and “Community Involvement and development”. The top five important evaluation criteria were “Standard procurement clauses”, “Green production technology and process”, “Meeting customers’ requirements”, “Reuse and recycling”, and “Information symmetry”. Finally, some constructive suggestions were offered to the cases suppliers of an empirical study that sythsized evaluation of practical qualities regarding the established criteria weights of sustaiable procurement. Therefore, the proposed analytical evaluation model can provide an important reference for green suppliers of cosmetics industry in Taiwan and a benchmark of sustainable development for the green market in the future. The model can be extended beyond the cosmetic industry and form a firm basis for other industries to draw references from.
