Abstract
The aim of this paper is to innovate the role of data in sustainable production chain management by identifying drivers, challenges and future solutions related to sustainability and data utilisation. The research data was collected from a literature review, a sustainability seminar entitled “Strong Stronger Responsible” and interviews with company representatives. The interviewees represented operators in the renewable forest and chemical industries and the companies serving them. This study examines sustainability data on the wood fibre-based production chain, from the forest to the consumer. The results show that for sustainability data, production chains have challenges and development needs in terms of indicators, data collection, quality and sharing. Sustainability data should guide decision making in processes at all levels of the organisation, as well as in the production chain.
