An algorithm based on the integrated use of CRITIC and ARAS methods was used in the performance assessment of businesses, and corporate sustainability performance ranking results were presented. The CRITIC method, which is one of the objective weighting methods, was used to de-termine the weight of the criteria, while the ARAS method was used to determine the performance rankings of alternatives. As a result of the analysis in terms of corporate sustainability, OTKAR has been determined as the company with the best economic performance, AYGAZ with the best environmental performance, and KERVT with the best social performance.
