Abstract
A sustainable supply chain network has many benefits for factories engaged in the production of textile industries and related industries in economic, social and environmental dimensions. Also, considering the existence of various indicators related to sustainable development, the existence of threats and opportunities, natural, social and industrial capacities, etc., the importance of addressing these indicators and also considering the different perspectives of experts and business owners, assessing the importance of sustainability indicators in the textile industry supply chain network is considered a very important issue in today's world. For this purpose, in this research, a method has been presented in such a way that first a supply chain network plan for textile products is modeled and then optimized. In the next step, using the optimization outputs, consulting with experts, and studying previous research related to the subject under study, a series of sustainability indicators are introduced. Finally, with the help of experts' perspectives and using the SWARA weighting method, the importance of each of these indicators is estimated in order to prioritize their consideration and strengthening.
