Construction of Green Competitiveness Analysis Index－A Case Study of Export Procession Zone

“Green competitiveness” is about applying strategy to achieve productivity and overall performance of socioeconomic development while reaching the goal of sustainable development. In the modern industry, green competitiveness is an imperative element to ensure the harmony of global society, economy and environment. This work focuses on investigating the factors that affect sustainable development and green environment in order to develop green competitiveness evaluation analysis indicators. A proposed metrics framework is developed based on literature review for the evaluation of green competitiveness analysis index. The framework associated with related indicators and weights is further validated by the enterprises in the export processing zones (EPZs) as a case study. Appropriate weights for indicators are developed based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. Results based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) show that economic sustainable development, industrial sustainable development, environmental management, and environmental regulations would have significant difference in different industries. This research is used as the basis to construct the green competitiveness analysis index with various industry characteristics as the future work.
