Nuclear Energy and sustainable Development

The need for organizations to evaluate their environmental practices has been recently increasing. This fact has led to the development of many approaches to appraise such practices. In this paper, a novel decision model to evaluate company’s environmental practices is proposed to improve traditional evaluation process in different facets. Firstly, different reviewers’ collectives related to the company’s activity are taken into account in the process to increase company internal efficiency and external legitimacy. Secondly, following the standard ISO 14031, two general categories of environmental performance indicators, management and operational, are considered. Thirdly, since the assumption of independence among environmental indicators is rarely verified in environmental context, an aggregation operator to bear in mind the relationship among such indicators in the evaluation results is proposed. Finally, this new model integrates quantitative and qualitative information with different scales using a multi-granular linguistic model that allows to adapt diverse evaluation scales according to appraisers’ knowledge.

Managing Interacting Criteria: Application to Environmental Evaluation Practices

Decision makers are increasingly involved in complex real decisions that require multiple viewpoints A specific case of this fact is the evaluation of sustainable policies related to environment and energy sectors In this evaluation process, multiple experts are involved to assess a set of scenarios, according to multiple criteria that might have different nature These evaluation processes aim to achieve an overall value for each scenario to obtain a ranking among them with the goal of identifying the best one In this evaluation process a key issue is the treatment of experts’ assessments for each criterion Due to the uncertainty and vagueness in the judgments of the experts and the nature of the criteria, these assessments can be expressed in different information formats, generating an heterogeneous framework There are diverse approaches to deal with this type of framework, the use of one approach or another could be crucial in the evaluation process, according to the necessities and requirements of the evaluation models regarding the expected results In this contribution, we propose an evaluation model applied to energy policy selection based on the decision analysis which may use different approaches to deal with heterogeneous information We present a comparative study of the proposed model using two different approaches to deal with heterogeneous information Finally, we show the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluation model depending on the approach used to manage heterogeneous information
