“…According to Ibrahim et al, the number of publications on CO 2 management decision making has increased especially in the last decade (2010-2020), with a significant increase in 2017 [30], especially in the automotive sector during the introduction of the Worldwide harmonised Light-duty Test Procedure (WLTP) [31], that consists of several customised models, tools, methods, and frameworks that have been developed to support CO 2 management decisions. Similarly, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies can be used by automotive OEMs to reconcile interrelated decision criteria to make Pareto-optimal decisions [30,32].…”

The regulatory environment for both sustainability and financial reporting is changing as standardisation and digital reporting (e.g., XBRL) are gaining traction within regulators. The measurement methodology and mandatory information content of disclosures are yet to be decided for corporate CO2 reporting by EU regulators and standard-setting organisations. In our study, we reviewed the sustainability reports of three leading German automotive groups by revenue for the period 2016–2020 as a case study. The research methodology was carried out with text-mining-aided content analysis to provide a collection of sustainability standards (GRI and SASB) in the evaluation of emissions reporting. As an addition to prior literature, conditions of relevance and clarity regarding published information were introduced in the evaluation process of compliance to CO2 disclosures. Companies by reporting practice were assigned to different stages of carbon management and actual emissions were evaluated. In the conclusions, discussion of the reliability of reported sustainability information, the applicability of digital reporting is provided through regional perspectives. We found that although analytical methods are available to assess the level of corporate carbon management, their usefulness is limited if the data are not reliable. Significant progress can be expected from analyses using standardised, comparable corporate carbon data.

“…The ranking results of the HTFS-CPT-TOPSIS method slightly differ from those of the method proposed in this paper, which may be attributed to the difference in decisionmaking logic between the two methods. The core idea of the TOPSIS method is to determine the ranking based on the relative closeness of the alternatives to the ideal solution [46,47]. The VIKOR method integrates the balance degree of the alternatives based on the TOPSIS method.…”

Hydrogen leakage and explosion accidents have obvious dangers, ambiguity of accident information, and urgency of decision-making time. These characteristics bring challenges to the optimization of emergency alternatives for such accidents. Effective emergency decision making is crucial to mitigating the consequences of accidents and minimizing losses and can provide a vital reference for emergency management in the field of hydrogen energy. An improved VIKOR emergency alternatives optimization method is proposed based on the combination of hesitant triangular fuzzy set (HTFS) and the cumulative prospect theory (CPT), termed the HTFS-CPT-VIKOR method. This method adopts the hesitant triangular fuzzy number to represent the decision information on the alternatives under the influence of multi-attributes, constructs alternatives evaluation indicators, and solves the indicator weights by using the deviation method. Based on CPT, positive and negative ideal points were used as reference points to construct the prospect matrix, which then utilized the VIKOR method to optimize the emergency alternatives for hydrogen leakage and explosion accidents. Taking an accident at a hydrogen refueling station as an example, the effectiveness and rationality of the HTFS-CPT-VIKOR method were verified by comparing with the existing three methods and conducting parameter sensitivity analysis. Research results show that the HTFS-CPT-VIKOR method effectively captures the limited psychological behavior characteristics of decision makers and enhances their ability to identify, filter, and judge ambiguous information, making the decision-making alternatives more in line with the actual environment, which provided strong support for the optimization of emergency alternatives for hydrogen leakage and explosion accidents.

This study investigates the application of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods to the classification of research papers within a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Distinctions are drawn between compensatory and non-compensatory MCDA approaches, which, despite their distinctiveness, have often been applied interchangeably, leading to a need for clarification in their usage. To address this, the methods of Entropy Weight Method (EWM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were utilized to determine the parameters for ranking papers within an SLR portfolio. The source of this ranking comprised publications from three major databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. From an initial yield of 267 articles, a final portfolio of 90 articles was established, highlighting not only the compensatory and non-compensatory classifications but also identifying methods that incorporate features of both. This nuanced categorization reveals the complexity and necessity of selecting an appropriate MCDA method based on the dataset characteristics, which may exhibit attributes of both approaches. The analysis further illuminated the geographical distribution of publications, leading contributors, thematic areas, and the prevalence of specific MCDA methods. This study underscores the importance of methodological precision in the application of MCDA to systematic reviews, providing a refined framework for evaluating academic literature.
