Abstract
Sustainability of technology is a multifaceted endeavor and a main requirement
from industry is to make it a profitable business case with clearly defined targets. To achieve that, a new assessment framework and applicable method [1]
is presented which has been developed closely with industry. It uses a top-down decision-making process known from financial target setting for each cost center and the well-known life-cycle perspective according to ISO 14040
[2] in Sustainability Assessment. Thereby it is possible to allocate absolute
environmental thresholds of functionalities (e.g. “transportation”) down to smallest production units by using activity-based target setting in a consistent way to lowers risks in the planning phase of products and production.
