Assessing the sustainability of industrial value chains: A mapping method proposal Retegi, Jabier Igartua, Juan Ignacio Ibarra, Dorleta value chain Sustainability triple bottom line ODS 9 Industria, innovación e infraestructura ODS 12 Producción y consumo responsables ODS 13 Acción por el clima Establishing sustainability policies and business strategies involvesmapping environmental, economic, and social factors in an inte-grative way. In the academic literature, environmentally extendedinput-output tables have been employed to analyse the relation-ship between economic flows and their impacts on sustainability.These methodologies require advanced mathematical expertiseand do not easily provide a graphical representation to facilitatetheir interpretation. To fill this gap, this paper develops a uniqueapproach using Power Query that integrates economic, environ-mental, and employment data to create value chain maps. It alsoprovides examples of the insights gained by applying the methodto 12 European countries. The resulting 240 industrial value chainmaps represent 94.41% of the industrial emissions in the surveyedcountries. This novel and comprehensive methodology for map-ping and characterising industrial sustainability in European indus-trial value chains (including Scope 3 emissions) provides valuableknowledge for researchers, business representatives, and policy-makers to design effective sustainable strategies 2025-01-16T15:53:10Z 2025-01-16T15:53:10Z 2025 http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 2169-3277 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=179945 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/6850 eng https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/6648 Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ © 2024 The Author(s) Taylor&Francis
