Abstract

Abstract Based on the results of our research, we have developed a reliable and valid scale for assessing the innovation success of sustainable development practices, with a specific focus on reducing drinking water consumption in the production sector, where so-called industrial water is used (for production, cooling, or both). We found that the assessment of innovation success in sustainable development management practices, specifically aimed at reducing drinking water consumption in the production sector, comprises two dimensions: measuring success in water use innovations and innovative success in water treatment and conservation. The study also found that the assessment of innovation success in sustainable development management practices, particularly focused on reducing drinking water consumption in the production sector, is influenced by reporting on sustainable water management, innovations in organizational systems, innovations in materials and processes for sustainable water use, and analysis with goal setting in water use innovations. This comprehensive analysis provides organizations without established metrics with a tool to identify potential areas for improvement, thereby enhancing ecological methods and increasing production efficiency.

验证制造业可持续水资源管理创新量表：斯洛文尼亚研究

摘要根据我们的研究成果，我们开发了一个可靠有效的量表，用于评估可持续发展实践创新的成功与否，特别侧重于减少生产部门的饮用水消耗，即所谓的工业用水（用于生产、冷却或两者）。我们发现，可持续发展管理实践创新成功与否的评估，特别是针对生产领域减少饮用水消耗的评估，包括两个方面：衡量用水创新成功与否，以及衡量水处理和水保护创新成功与否。研究还发现，对可持续发展管理实践创新成功与否的评估，尤其是对生产部门减少饮用水消耗的评估，受到可持续水资源管理报告、组织系统创新、可持续用水材料和工艺创新以及用水创新目标设定分析的影响。这种综合分析为没有既定衡量标准的组织提供了一种工具，以确定潜在的改进领域，从而加强生态方法并提高生产效率。
