abstract:
 
The need of organizations to evaluate their environmental practices is increasing, but there are many possibilities to do it. In this paper a decision model is proposed to evaluate company's environmental practice taking into account different collectives of reviewers related to the company's activity. Moreover, this model integrates quantitative and qualitative information with different scales using a multigranular linguistic model that allows to adapt diverse evaluation scales according to the appraisers' knowledge. The final aim is to compute partial and global indicators that can be used by the management team to make their decisions regarding the environmental issues.
