Abstract
This paper proposes and outlines a concept for
manufacturing companies to improve their sustainability
performance and manage sustainable production. Reviews of
the current state of sustainable development at global
and company level show that manufacturing companies need
support and guidance to realize the objectives of
sustainable development. Related to this, the challenges
and barriers to realizing sustainable development faced
by the manufacturing companies identified in the authors'
recent research projects are also summarized in this
paper. The proposed concept aims to overcome the
challenges and shortcomings related to measuring,
reporting, controlling and improving sustainability
performance. The structure, content and development
process of the concept are discussed and outlined in the
paper.
