Enhancing competitive pressure is one of the most significant roles of supply chain management. The competitive environment and customer perception have shifted in favour of an ecological mentality. As a result, green supplier selection (GSS) has emerged as a critical problem. The challenge of green supplier selection striving for agility, durability, ecological sensitivity, leanness, and sustainability is tackled in this paper. In terms of recycling applications, environmental applications, carbon footprint, and water consumption, the environmental parameters evaluated in GSS and traditional supplier selection differ. Because of the form of the problem, a resolution is defined, which comprises an algorithm entrenched in the spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy sets (SLDFSs) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) technique. Before discussing the approach of the SLDF model, some background information on SLDF sets is provided. To assure the uniqueness of this robust extension, different operations on SLDFSs are described, along with some concise interpretations to help the reader comprehend these ideas. A robust TOPSIS approach has been utilized in the issue of GSS by taking into consideration the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) technique particularly useful in several areas, like analyzing and choosing traditional and environmental conventionalities. Due to linguistic criteria and the inability to assess all criteria, the fuzzy technique must be used with the TOPSIS method to lessen the consequences of instability and ambiguity. The spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy TOPSIS approach is employed, as it simplifies the evaluation of decision-makers and criteria. The hybrid technique resulting from integrating the SLDFS and TOPSIS is extremely successful in selecting which provider is more suited among the alternatives established on the criteria set by the order of significance, and this method may also be incorporated into similar issues.
