Nowadays the role of green manufacturing (GM) in sustainable development is evident and irrefutable therefore organizations seek to introduce themselves green in order to maintain their image toward their community. The usual method of sustainability and greenness assessment of a system is making use of indicators and indexes which are classified into several groups based on their characteristics. An important type of index categorization is based on four sustainability attributes including economic, energy, environment and recourses as well as pressure-state-response model (PSR). Because of the research gap about interactions relationships on indexes and investigating their influence others and influence by others. Since, indexes in each group could be effective on other indexes and be overlapped to some extent, it is necessary to prioritize and evaluate cause and effect relations by use of an appropriate method. We consider the relationship and prioritize most important indexes to evaluate manufacturing' greenness based on aforementioned sustainability attributes and PSR model. Purpose data is gathered by survey GM experts questionnaires, including 41 indexes plus 4 mentioned attributes, totally as 45 factors in 13 groups. In order to data analysis, with respect to the non-certainty and insufficient information, Grey DEMATEL method is used.
