Triple bottom line analysis of oil and gas industry with multicriteria decision making

An integrative environmental performance index for benchmarking in oil and gas industry

“…Although there are many disagreements in the literature regarding the concept of sustainable development, there is a widely shared consensus about three basic dimensions: environmental, social and economic (Hacking and Guthrie, 2008;Infante et al, 2013). The environmental dimension is the focus of this paper; this relates to principles of minimizing the use of natural resources, energy, and hazardous and toxic substances (Glavi c and Lukman, 2007).…”

They realized that when specific industries like oil and gas tried to use guidelines proposed by GRI, it was difficult for them to select, define, and measure the correct indicators (Huppes et al, 2007;Infante et al, 2013). In an attempt to resolve this problem, GRI released the "Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and Oil and Gas Sector Supplement."…”

A Multicriteria Analysis of Photovoltaic Systems: Energetic, Environmental, and Economic Assessments

Furthermore the multidimensional approaches, which characterize MCA, permit analysing companies' performance and defining improvements in their decision-making process [16]. MCDA is gaining popularity in sustainable energy management, which is characterized by multiple decision makers and multiple criteria.…”
