As enterprises pay more and more attention to environmental issues, the green supply chain management (GSCM) mode has been extensively utilized to guarantee profit and sustainable development. Green supplier selection (GSS), which is a key segment of GSCM, has been investigated to put forward plenty of GSS approaches. At present, enterprises prefer to construct the large-scale teams of decision makers to obtain the more reasonable ranking results during GSS process. However, the existing methods pay little attention to the large-scale GSS procedure. To investigate the GSS issue with a large-scale group of decision makers, a new GSS approach under a q-rung interval-valued orthopair fuzzy environment is developed. The q-rung interval-valued orthopair fuzzy numbers are introduced to describe the evaluation information of green suppliers. Combined with a clustering approach and several clustering principles, the large-scale decision makers are divided into several subgroups. Next, the similarity measures between the evaluation matrices are computed to determine the weights of subgroups, and the collective evaluation information can be obtained using the q-rung interval-valued orthopair fuzzy aggregation operator. According to the weighted entropy measure, the weights of criteria are calculated; then, the q-rung interval-valued orthopair fuzzy multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis plus the full multiplicative form (q-RIVOF-MULTIMOORA) method is constructed to determine the best green supplier. At last, a practical GSS example is applied to show the feasibility of the proposed approach, and the sensitivity and comparative analyses indicate that for the large-scale GSS issues, the proposed approach can obtain the more robust and reasonable ranking results.
