Abstract
The study's main goal was to quantify the relationships between the selected sectoral dimensions and responsible consumption and production within the Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12). The SDG 12 goal was examined through the six indicators: (i) raw material consumption tonnes per capita (RMC), (ii) average CO2 emissions per km from new passenger cars (CO2), (iii) circular material use rate, (iv) generation of waste excluding major mineral wastes by hazardousness in kilogram per capita, (v) gross value added in environmental goods and services sector percentage per GDP (VAE), and (vi) energy productivity PPS per kilogram of oil (EPO). The results of the analyses confirmed the existence of the important synergies, but also the significant compromises between the goals of sustainable development. The highest level of association with the raw material consumption was confirmed for the enterprises located in the low-tech manufacturing sector. The results are beneficial for the policymakers and development strategies, for experts dealing with the sector analyses in a relation to sustainable development, creators of the evaluation, and regulatory mechanisms supporting the sustainability of the economies and their environmental goals and strategies.
