Abstract :

Background and Objective: The increase in industrial activities and the dispersion of interdependent industries in unfavorable climatic situations have caused environmental problems and issues on the other hand, it can be considered a serious obstacle to sustainable production in industries. The purpose of this research is Interpretive ranking appraisal of ecological drivers of sustainable production in the oil industry.  

Material and Methodology: This research, which is considered developmental and mixed in terms of methodology, tried to identify the ecological drivers of sustainable production in the oil industry by relying on Meta-synthesis analysis and Delphi processes in the qualitative part of the research. Then, in the quantitative part, interpretive ranking analysis will be used to identify the most effective ecological driver of sustainable production in oil industry. The participant in the qualitative section was 14 specialists and experts in the field of industrial management at the university level and in the quantitative part, the participation of 23 managers and the experts was used from the management level of the development center in the National Iranian Oil Company, who had experience both in terms of knowledge and experience. The results of the research in the qualitative part after the content screening of 14 confirmed studies indicated the existence of 6 ecological drivers of sustainable production in the oil industry.

Findings: The results in the quantitative part of the research showed that, from the sum of the overall effectiveness based on the paired scale between the research components, it was determined that the percentage of influence of the stimulus, ecological, climatic and environmental positioning is higher than the rest of the ecological stimuli of sustainable production in the oil industry.

Discussion and Conclusion: The obtained result expresses the fact that ecological positioning in terms of climate and environment helps the oil industry by bringing together companies active in this field, while preventing the dispersion of industrial companies, at the same time can by evaluating the soil; Plant and animal diversity and other environmental aspects prevent the erosion of natural resources and environmental pollution.
