Development and Evaluation of Green Industry Indicators for the Effective Implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM)

Background & Aims: This study develops an integrated evaluation framework for assessing the performance of green industries using the Fuzzy Delphi Technique (FDT) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). As industrial sectors increasingly prioritize sustainability, establishing green industry standards is crucial for achieving long-term environmental goals. Materials and Methods: This applied, descriptive-analytical research involved a panel of experts in environmental health and green industries who were selected via snowball sampling. Data were collected through literature review, surveys, and expert interviews using the FDT and FAHP methods. Results: The evaluation framework consists of ۱۲ main indicators, including public health protection, personnel health protection, ecosystem preservation, water management, sewage management, waste management, air pollution control, energy consumption management, raw material consumption, noise pollution, accident-related pollution prevention, and investment management for pollution control. These indicators were refined and validated based on expert feedback, and additional suggestions were incorporated. The FDT identified the most critical indicators, while the FAHP methodology was employed to prioritize and weigh these indicators using triangular fuzzy numbers to account for uncertainty in decision-making. Conclusion: According to the research findings, air pollution prevention and water management were identified as the highest-priority indicators. Furthermore, ۱۲۲ sub-indices related to these indicators were validated, with acceptable consistency ratios in pairwise comparisons confirming the reliability of the framework. This integrated evaluation tool offers a robust and reliable method for assessing green industry performance, providing valuable insights for policymakers and industry leaders to drive sustainable development and green industry standards.
