Abstract
Assessing the sustainability issues of the green energy companies is a multiple criterion decision that includes both quantitative and qualitative elements. The sustainability-balanced scorecard (SBSC) for sustainability evaluation is more difficult than an internal evaluation and it requires more serious investigation in the green energy companies. This paper objectives to mix this sustainability evaluation and use fuzzy information with the SBSC. The study presents a fuzzy DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory) method to develop an assessment model that integrates triangular fuzzy numbers, and DEMATEL to develop a fuzzy assessment, which prioritizes the relative influence of SBSC for green energy companies’ elements. First, this paper conducts a literature review on SBSC regarding sustainability issues to generate 15 elements with five aspects, which are used to measure the sustainability assessment. Next, fuzzy DEMATEL is employed to manage the uncertain linguistic terms, then to set up an influential network relationship map (INRM). This suggested model provides a structure for the related green energy companies to select the evaluation method and could arrange the sustainability approach according to future competitive pressure. The result shows that environmental aspect is the most direct effect and social aspect is the most important effect aspect to the other aspects.
Highlights
Within the past decade, numerous energy companies have been paying more attention to environmental issues because of deteriorating environmental pollution
The remainder of this study is organized as : we identify the sustainability aspects/ elements in Section 1, and describe the detailed methodologies, including the fuzzy theory; Fuzzy DEMATEL are applied in Section 2; it illustrates a case study in Section 3; conclusions are presented in the last Section
The case study of this study focused on the green energy companies in Taiwan to determine this application of the proposed fuzzy DEMATEL typical by objectively assessing and selecting the best methods
Summary
Numerous energy companies have been paying more attention to environmental issues because of deteriorating environmental pollution. In the meantime, increasing the demands of customer for eco-friendly products demonstrates the positive. In recent years, owing to environmental pollution issues, the renewable electricity in Taiwan was getting more and more. Taiwan to boost renewable energy to 20% by 2025. While Taiwan is still far from a sustainable electricity supply, relying heavily on nuclear (12.7%), natural-gas (21.4%) and coal (43.3%) (Chung, 2021), so far, Taiwan has developing in growing novel capacity, in the wind power sector. The total capacity of wind energy in Taiwan amounted to approximately 854 megawatts in 2020, an increase from around 845 megawatts in the previous year. The sustainability for the green energy is a critical issue
