Strategic Decision Support: MCDA analysis in metallurgical sector

Abstract

A few years ago became notorious the inclusion of environmental and social issues in economic decisions,
which led to a new strategic framework for organizations. Thus, it is of fundamental importance to know the present
limitations and new paradigms in the operational and tactical developing of organizations, aiming at less striking and
balanced actions. Thus, the objective was to develop an integrated interpretation of economic, environmental and
social issues of the main companies in the oil and gas sectors in the world, featuring their activities through
sustainability indicators covered in the three pillars of development (Triple Bottom Line). For the research robustness
the decision support multicriteria analysis (AMD) was used as methodology, which in the application of the method
ELECTRE III was possible to verify the ranking of companies according to direct sustainable reports. It was concluded
that sustainable strategies allied to the Triple Bottom Line are a corporate and operational differential. Thus, it is
expected to contribute to the deepening of enterprise policies across all strategic decisions focused on sustainability.
