A precise selection of suppliers for the oil industry and oil products requires consideration of essential and efficient criteria and sub-criteria, as well as the relationship between them. Supplier selection aims to identify suppliers with the most significant potential to provide customers with materials, machines, and spare parts at reasonable prices for the foreseeable future. In order to accomplish this, suppliers must be monitored according to the criteria that customers desire. This paper presents a stable method for evaluating and analyzing suppliers, and supplier selection problems are solved by combining Dematel fuzzy decision-making experiment and ANP[1]. Using a new approach, this study proposes a solution to the problem that enables decision makers to minimize the negative environmental effects and maximize the positive social effects while maximizing the supply chain's commercial performance by choosing a sustainable supplier. At first, the effects of the decision criteria are calculated by Fuzzy Dematel. Then the weights of each criterion related to sustainable supplier selection are extracted by the ANP method. It has been concluded in this study that when selecting suppliers for the oil industry, decision-makers should pay attention to both financial indicators and environmental indicators.
