Abstract

Abstract Sustainability is a paramount concern for manufacturing companies, necessitating the adoption of sustainable production and circular economy strategies. However, quantifying these sustainability efforts remains a formidable challenge due to the absence of a standardized framework, consequently hindering the development of effective strategies. This study presents a framework comprising 39 indicators, each accompanied by a descriptive calculation method, recommended units, and a suggested trend. These indicators were meticulously selected through a comprehensive literature review and refined via expert consensus during semi‐structured interviews. To establish a tangible connection between the operational world of companies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we employ a visualization tool – the Sankey diagram. This diagram unravels the intricate links between the selected indicators and the SDGs. Both contributions provide manufacturers with a clear roadmap to quantify and align their actions with broader global objectives.

评估可持续生产:与可持续发展目标一致的指标选择

可持续性是制造企业最关心的问题，需要采用可持续生产和循环经济战略。然而，由于缺乏标准化框架，对这些可持续性努力进行量化仍然是一项艰巨的挑战，从而阻碍了有效战略的制定。本研究提出了一个由39个指标组成的框架，每个指标都附有描述性计算方法、推荐单位和建议趋势。这些指标是通过全面的文献综述精心选择的，并在半结构化访谈中通过专家共识加以完善。为了在公司的运营世界和可持续发展目标(sdg)之间建立切实的联系，我们使用了一种可视化工具——桑基图。该图揭示了所选指标与可持续发展目标之间的复杂联系。这两项贡献都为制造商提供了明确的路线图，以量化其行动并使其与更广泛的全球目标保持一致。
