There is an increasing pressure by community and customers forcing companies to insert environmental concerns in their practices. To help companies initiatives, the green bonds market was incepted. Our research question is how to select bonds in a growing billion-dollar market. This paper presents a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model to enable investors identify opportunities based not only in opinions, but grounded on objective facts. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) are two MCDA methods applied in this paper. Top-fifteen green bonds ranked by specialized media were assessed with the proposed MCDA model. Criteria included the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) proposed by Yale University, and common financial indicators as assets, risks (β), and dividends. The new AHP–COPRAS rank is compared with another published by specialized media.

Çevre Performans İndeksi (Environmental Performance Index-EPI), Yale Üniversitesi tarafından 2006 yılından beri ikişer yıl arayla ülkelerin çevre sağlığı ve ekosistem canlılığını 2006 yılında 16, 2008 ve 2010 yıllarında 25 ve son olarak 2012 yılında 22 performans göstergesine göre değerlendiren çevreyle ilgili önemli bir çalışmadır. Bu göstergeler, çevreye dair politika amaçlarına ülkelerin ne kadar yaklaştıklarının bir göstergesi durumundadır. 2012 yılı Çevre Performansı İndeksi’ne göre Türkiye, çevre sağlığı ve ekosistem canlılığını korumada dünya ülkeleri arasında en son sıralarda ve birçok en az gelişmiş ülkenin arasında yer almaktadır. Türkiye’nin indeks kapsamında 2012 yılında değerlendirilen 132 ülke arasında 109 sırada yer alması, çevre performansı konusunda Türkiye’nin sadece 23 ülkeyi, yani değerlendirilen ülkelerin sadece %17'sini geçebildiği ve %83’ünün gerisinde kaldığı anlamına gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada; çevre performans indeksi, indeksin amaçları, yapısal olarak politika ve kategorileri, göstergeleri ve puanları açıklandıktan sonra, tüketim toplumu ve çevre ilişkisi üzerinde durulmuştur. Türkiye’nin çevresel performansı 2010 ve 2012 yılı çevresel performans indeksi değerlerine göre analiz edildikten sonra, 2012 yılı performans değerlemesine göre beş kategoriye ayrılan ve her kategorinin başında yer alan ülkelerle Türkiye’nin karşılaştırmalı durumu grafiksel olarak ele alınmıştır. Son olarak; tüketim toplumu, çevre, çevre performans indeksi ve Türkiye çerçevesinde bazı değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Consumer Society, Environmental Performance Index And Evaluation of Environmental Performance For Turkey According To Environmental Performance Index Environmental Performance Index (EPI-Environmental Performance Index) is a major study which evaluates environmental health and ecosystem vitality of countries, two years apart. This study, prepared by Yale University and based on 16 performance indicators in 2006, 25 in 2008 and 2010, and finally 22 in 2012, evaluating the environmental performance. These indicators are as an indicator of how much countries achieve the environmental policy goals. According to the year 2012 Environmental Performance Index, Turkey is in the most recent ranking of countries in the world, and many are among the least developed countries for protecting environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Turkey, within the scope of the index of 132 countries assessed in 2012 to take place in 109, only 23 countries of Turkey in environmental performance, i.e., able to pass 17% and 83% of countries assessed only means to remain behind. In this study, environmental performance index, the objectives of index, policies and structural categories, indicators, and the scores after the announcement, focused on the relationship between consumer society and the environment. Environmental performance of Turkey in 2010 and 2012, after analyzing the environmental performance index values, separated into five categories based on the valuation of the performance of the year 2012 and at the beginning of each category are discussed in the territories of Turkey graphical comparative situation. Finally, the consumer society, the environment, some assessments were made within the framework of environmental performance index and Turkey.

With the awareness of their environmental performance, countries can provide strategies and policies to improve their environmental performance. Thus, countries can contribute to their own economic development by increasing their environmental performance. Therefore, measuring the environmental performance of countries is of great importance. Environmental performance of countries can be measured by the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). EPI consists of two factors, environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Its factors are environmental protection components, and environmental protection components are environmental protection variables. In this context, the research has two purposes. The first of these,To measure the latest and up-to-date environmental performances of the G7 group countries for 2018, using CODAS and TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) over the values of EPI components. The second is to determine which MCDM method can be used to explain the EPI values of countries the most. According to the findings, the ranking of countries' environmental performance with the CODAS method was determined as England, France, Japan, Germany, Canada, Italy and the USA. According to the TOPSIS method, this ranking was determined as England, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, Italy and the USA. According to another finding, it has been observed that there is a significant, positive and very high relationship between the EPI values of the countries and the values measured by the CODAS and TOPSIS methods. According to this result, it was evaluated that EPI can be explained by both methods. In addition, it has been concluded that the correlation value between TOPSIS values of EPI within the scope of the research is higher than the CODAS method, so it can be explained better with the TOPSIS method compared to the EPI CODAS method. In the literature, in order not to find a study measuring the environmental performance of countries with CODAS and TOPSIS methods, it was evaluated that the study in question contributed to the literature, since the findings obtained as a result of the research became a data set for future studies.

The paper deals with the analysis of methodology of Environmental Performance Index. The authors analyzed and systematized the main existing integrated indices, which were used for evaluation of environmental, social and economic situation in the countries. The authors allocated the environmental performance index as a basis for analyzing the environmental policy of the country. In this direction, the authors analysed the main features, structure and indicators of environmental performance index. The authors allocated the world-leader countries with huge level of CO2 emissions. According to the results, the authors aproved that these countries should improve their environmental policy. Accordingly, they occupied less position in environmental performance index. For the purpose to analyze the relation between ecological, social and economic welfare, the authors analyzed score of sustainable development goal index, social progress index and gross domestic product per capita. The comparison analysis of findings showed that countries with good position on environmental performance index have the strong position on sustainable development goal index and social progress index. The authors suggested that Ukraine should orient to the EU countries with purpose to improve the environmental policy.

The Third Principle which is pertaining to the right to development in Agenda 21 of the Rio Declaration or Earth Summit asserts that it must be fulfilled so that development must be sustainable which has been defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need. Among the various models of environmental sustainability comparative studies was the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) model. Malaysia was ranked 54 recording a score of 65 and ranked 10 among the Asia and Pacific Countries behind two ASEAN countries: Singapore and Philippines. The environmental indicators from 2010 EPI was therefore used to develop the System Dynamics Simulation Model to provide the framework and procedure for qualitative and quantitative description, exploration and analysis of the systems in terms of their processes, information boundaries and strategies, facilitating quantitative simulation modeling for policy evaluation and predictions pertinent to sustainability. The System Dynamic Simulation Model developed for the EPI of Malaysia changed the static presentation to a dynamic scenario. Two very important components were considered: the contribution and the impact of population and the industrial activities indicated as the Industrial Productivity Index. The simulated EPI of 66.51 was shown to differ slightly from the EPI 2010 of 65 attributed to the inclusion of the population and the industrial production factors in the system dynamic model, in which the later study did not compute the EPI with respect to the two factors. Thus, the System Dynamic Simulation Model developed has shown to be reliable and be used for any country to simulate EPI for future trends.
