Environmental innovation and green growth in the repair and maintenance of cars—case study

Abstract

The current phase of the sustainable development of production is primarily focused on innovation and environmental products and services, and on greening the economy through the implementation of standardized tools (according to ISO). The paper presents the application of results of ongoing research through case studies under particular conditions. We have expanded our previously proposed business model as an input/output transformation system, presented in our previous research that was published at the 18th International Scientific Conference “Globalization and Its Socio-Economic Consequences” in Zilina and supported by the fact that we are co-creators of STN EN ISO standards 14051:2012 (839051) and STN EN ISO 14045:2013 (839045). Here, it is sup-plemented by the proposal of a procedure for selecting an instrument for greening the economy according to the area of economic activities (NACE coding). The methodological principles and the proposed procedure are applied through a case study in a small car repair company.
