Türk Yüklenici Firmaların Çevresel Performanslarının Analizi

Öz

Yüklenici firmalar, çevresel performanslarını iyileştirerek çevre sorunlarının çözümüne katkı sağlamanın yanı sıra, maliyetlerini düşürmekte, böylece uluslararası pazarda rekabet avantajı sağlayabilmekte ve kar paylarını artırabilmektedir. Araştırmalar, çevresel performansı ölçme amacıyla kullanılan göstergelerin faaliyet ve hedeflere uygun seçilmesinin çevresel performans üzerindeki olumlu etkisine işaret etmektedir. Ancak yüklenici firmaların faaliyetlerine özgü, genel kabul görmüş ve kapsamlı bir çevresel performans ölçme yaklaşımı bulunmamaktadır. Araştırmada mülakatlar, alan çalışması ve vaka analizi içeren aşamalı bir yöntem ile yüklenici firmaların çevresel performans ölçümü için uygun göstergeler ağırlıklarıyla belirlenmiş ve bu göstergelere dayanarak Türk yüklenici firmaların çevresel performansları çeşitli yönleriyle analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları ışığında inşaat sektöründe çevresel performansın iyileştirilmesi için stratejiler önerilmektedir.

Analysis of Environmental Performance of Turkish Contractors

Öz

Improving their environmental performance enables contracting companies to decrease costs and increase their profit margins thus gaining competitive edge in international markets, besides contributing to improving of the environment. Research points to the necessity of selecting environmental performance indicators that are appropriate for the type of activities and the performance targets. Currently, however, no broadly accepted, comprehensive environmental performance assessment approach exists that is particularly suited to the activities of contractors. In this research, suitable indicators for the assessment of environmental performance of contractors and their relative weights have been determined through a staged-approach involving interviews, field surveys and case studies, and the environmental performances of the Turkish contractors are analyzed in various aspects based on these indicators. Strategies are proposed, in the light of the findings of the study, to ameliorate the environmental performance of the building industry.
