Abstract

Businesses have become more sensitive to the environment as the problems arising due to climate change cause great dangers and the society's awareness of this issue. With this awareness, companies have turned to green innovation activities and started to gain competitive advantage. Waste recycling, less material use, eco-design, green product, pollution prevention are among the environmental activities of green innovation.

In this study, it is aimed to rank the green innovation criteria according to their importance. Renewable energy use, waste recycling, energy saving, pollution prevention, green product design, green marketing process, green supply chain, reduced carbon footprint, less material use criteria were used in the study. The ranking of the green innovation criteria was made using the Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. As a result of the study, it was seen that the "Reduced carbon footprint" criterion is the most important criterion. It was concluded that the criterion of "green product design" ranked second and the criterion of "use of renewable energy" ranked third. As a result of the study, it is clearly seen that the criteria in the first three are among the most important current issues discussed and addressed in the world.
