Abstract

Current research in the field of performance measurement hasn't presented a rigorous composite indicator for quantifying company performance, with environmental indicators for automobile companies. This paper aims to construct this missing composite indicator. A new approach is developed, including techniques of fuzzy logic, analytic network process, the entropy theory and a geometric mean with unequal weights. The method is transparent, and the composite indicator derived can serve as a statistical tool for benchmarking. A case study is conducted in six leading automobile companies with data from the fiscal year 2016.
