Abstract
The concept of sustainable manufacturing is a topic that has attracted significant attention in the field of research. Moreover, it is evident that this concept is also a much-noticed trend in the context of industrial practice. The existing literature provides a substantial number of studies that have been developed and examined with the objective of identifying and evaluating measures improving sustainability. Despite this, there is a notable lack of implementation of these measures in many areas of practice. Our study uses a structured qualitative content analysis of expert interviews with eight German pioneering companies in sustainable manufacturing to illustrate which measures are currently being successfully implemented. A deductive-inductive approach is used to develop a classification scheme for categorizing measures of ecological, economic, and social sustainability. The article then discusses which measures appear to be the most promising, what leading companies are doing to become more sustainable, and provides recommendations for practitioners.
