Strategic Selection of Environmental Indicators in Precast Concrete Industry Using a Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process

This study explores the strategic selection of environmental indicators for the precast concrete industry using the Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method. A systematic literature review (SLR) identified 97 sustainability performance indicators in manufacturing, narrowing down to 39 environmental ones. Expert consultations finalized 27 indicators relevant to the sector, categorized under energy, water, air pollution, soil, and waste. Energy indicators, like reducing consumption and improving efficiency, ranked highest, reflecting their importance in energy-intensive processes such as curing. The results reveal significant gaps in air and soil indicators, often deprioritized in sustainability assessments. These indicators support compliance with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) standards and inform operational and strategic decisions. Integration into Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems enhances sustainability reporting and performance tracking. In Industry 4.0 (I4.0), this enables advanced, data-driven sustainability approaches, providing valuable insights for stakeholders and aiding decision-making.
