Sustainability development goals preferences in metallurgical and mining industry

Abstract

Sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 provide an opportunity for the metallurgical and mining industry to create value for both their business and society. The aim of the paper is to analyze the SDGs preferences in the metallurgical and mining industry and identify those SDGs that companies from that industry promised to follow. The multi-criteria decision-making method PROMETHEE and the GAIA plane were used as the methodological base for analysis of input data from United Nations Global Compact database. The results show main differences in declared SDGs preferences among Europe, America, Asia, and Africa.
