As industrial sectors increasingly prioritize sustainability, establishing green industry standards is crucial for achieving long-term environmental goals.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="text-autospace:ideograph-numeric ideograph-other"><span minion="" pro="" style="font-family:"><b><span style="font-size:8.5pt"><span lt="" optima="" std="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:#29ade4"><span style="letter-spacing:.15pt">Materials and Methods: </span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:8.0pt"><span style="font-family:Optima">This applied, descriptive-analytical research involved a panel of experts in environmental health and green industries who were selected via snowball sampling. Data were collected through literature review, surveys, and expert interviews using the FDT and FAHP methods.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="text-autospace:ideograph-numeric ideograph-other"><span minion="" pro="" style="font-family:"><b><span style="font-size:8.5pt"><span lt="" optima="" std="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:#29ade4"><span style="letter-spacing:.15pt">Results: </span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:8.0pt"><span style="font-family:Optima">The evaluation framework consists of 12 main indicators, including public health protection, personnel health protection, ecosystem preservation, water management, sewage management, waste management, air pollution control, energy consumption management, raw material consumption, noise pollution, accident-related pollution prevention, and investment management for pollution control. These indicators were refined and validated based on expert feedback, and additional suggestions were incorporated. The FDT identified the most critical indicators, while the FAHP methodology was employed to prioritize and weigh these indicators using triangular fuzzy numbers to account for uncertainty in decision-making.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="text-autospace:ideograph-numeric ideograph-other"><span minion="" pro="" style="font-family:"><b><span style="font-size:8.5pt"><span lt="" optima="" std="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:#29ade4"><span style="letter-spacing:.15pt">Conclusion: </span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:8.0pt"><span style="font-family:Optima">According to the research findings, air pollution prevention and water management were identified as the highest-priority indicators. Furthermore, 122 sub-indices related to these indicators were validated, with acceptable consistency ratios in pairwise comparisons confirming the reliability of the framework. This integrated evaluation tool offers a robust and reliable method for assessing green industry performance, providing valuable insights for policymakers and industry leaders to drive sustainable development and green industry standards.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="text-autospace:ideograph-numeric ideograph-other"><span minion="" pro="" style="font-family:"><span style="font-size:8.0pt"><span style="font-family:Optima"></span></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Air pollution, Controlled, Environment, Fuzzy delphi technique, Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, Green industry, Green supply chain management (GSCM), Indoor prevention and control 129 138 http://jhygiene.muq.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-504-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mahdi Asadi-Ghalhari مهدی اسدی قالهری mehdi.asady@gmail.com No Research Center for Environmental Pollutants, Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran مرکز تحقیقات آلاینده‌های محیطی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی قم، قم، ایران.
