Abstract

Components of automation technology have a special position in the area of sustainability. Each component has limited impact on sustainability indicators and business-to-business customers only have a small physical and emotional involvement with the product. However, interesting leverage might be given since the components are sold in large numbers and influence the system they are built in. Based on this background information, this paper provides a framework to consider all stakeholders perspectives in order to avoid trade-offs between them and to push "win-win-win-situations". Concrete measures for automation technology are allocated to the sustainability strategies and quantified through a product example.
