Comparing two CF+DEA methods for assessing eco-efficiency from theoretical and practical points of view.

摘要: Nowadays, sustainability has become of increasing concern in policy and the decision making stakeholders. Companies have been their attention to environmental performance. In order measure performance, different approaches proposed. The joint application Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), called LCA+DEA, is used assess eco-efficiency, which produce more with less impact fewer resources. this manuscript, we compare two methods that implement LCA+DEA approach, five-step four-step methods, focused on Carbon Footprint (CF), CF+DEA. These not compared previously. This comparison will encompass theoretical practical points view according efficiency indices, best practices, targets for CF emissions. To perform comparison, use a case study raspberry producers Chile. From point view, observed both achieved main objective reducing CF. Moreover, results show similar eco-efficiency scores; given by method are demanding than those method. sense, provides higher average reduction. due inclusion as an undesirable output DEA assessment output-oriented model. Additionally, including within assessment, reflects better definition eco-efficiency. Following these results, it advisable provided short term then mid-term or long term.
