Abstract

Traditional methods used to determine sustainability performance generally rely on precise data and do not take uncertainties into account. However, in the real world, factors affecting sustainability performance are often uncertain. Therefore, a method capable of addressing uncertainties is necessary to objectively assess sustainability performance. Sustainability is a complex concept with environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and the interaction of these dimensions has a significant impact on the long-term success of businesses. This study proposes a Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) approach that integrates fuzzy logic principles to determine the relationships and priorities among these dimensions. Six key criteria influencing sustainability were evaluated using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process method to determine the sustainability performance of factories. These six key criteria, selected in collaboration with experts and factory management, include energy efficiency, waste management, water usage, worker health and safety, social engagement and responsibility, and supply chain management. The study concluded that for a factory, the criterion of "Energy Efficiency" is prioritized with a score of 0.27 compared to other criteria.

Bir Firmanın Belirsizlik Altında Sürdürülebilirlik Performansının Değerlendirilmesi: Bulanık AHP Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik performansını belirlemek için kullanılan geleneksel yöntemler, genellikle kesin verilere dayanır ve belirsizlikleri dikkate almaz. Ancak, gerçek dünyada, sürdürülebilirlik performansını etkileyen faktörler genellikle belirsizdir. Bu nedenle, sürdürülebilirlik performansını objektif bir şekilde değerlendirmek için belirsizlikleri ele alabilen bir yöntem gereklidir. Sürdürülebilirlik, çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutlarıyla karmaşık bir kavram olup, bu boyutların etkileşimi, işletmelerin uzun vadeli başarısı üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu çalışma, bu boyutlar arasındaki ilişkileri ve önem sıralarını belirlemek için bulanık mantık prensiplerini entegre eden bir Fuzzy Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) yaklaşımını önermektedir. Fabrikaların sürdürülebilirlik performansını belirlemek için Fuzzy AHP yöntemi kullanılarak altı temel kriterin sürdürülebilirliğe olan etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Bu altı temel kriter alanında uzman kişiler ve fabrika yönetimi ile birlikte; enerji verimliliği, atık yönetimi, su kullanımı, işçi sağlığı ve güvenliği, toplumsal katılım ve sorumluluk, ve tedarik zinciri yönetimi olarak firmaların sürdürülebilirlik performansını belirlemek için seçilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda bir fabrika için “Enerji Verimliliği” kriterinin 0,27 puan ile diğer kriterlerden çok daha öncelikli olduğu saptanmıştır.
