Abstract

Today, the sustainable development goals adopted by United Nations belong to the basic pillars of sustainable business strategies of all industrial companies, including metallurgical and mining. However, their preferences often differ significantly in different companies around the world. One of the reasons for the different preferences may be the economic country conditions. The aim of the paper is to verify the hypothesis that the preferences of individual sustainable development goals in metallurgical and mining companies strongly depend on the economic country conditions in which these companies operate. The PROMETHEE ranking method and its GAIA tool were used as the main research methodology. The obtained results led to the confirmation of the above hypothesis and the definition of the goals most preferred in companies operating in the G7 countries, developed economies, and developing economies.

Keywords: Sustainable development goals, metallurgical and mining companies, economic country conditions, PROMETHEE method, GAIA tool
