Abstract: The purpose of this research is to provide an approach to assess risk management in the sustainable supply chain of Iran Khodro Company. To understand the relationship between the sustainable supply chain risks, using the grey DEMATEL method, the cause and effect graph of these risks was identified. The results showed that the 'financial crisis' index had more interaction compared to other indicators. The 'unfair wage' index has the least dependence on other outputs due to the number of output relationships, but other indicators are highly dependent on it. Also, the 'safe and healthy work environment' indicator has the highest dependence on other indexes with respect to the number of inputs, but other indicators have a small dependence on it. The research results provide a comprehensive model for assessing the sustainable supply chain risk in the automotive industry, which can be used by industry and researchers.

Keywords: sustainable supply chain; risk management; Delphi; grey DEMATEL; Iran Khodro Company.
