Abstract
Today, companies of all sizes need to gather, manage and deliver a wide range of sustainability information due to public demand, regulations and laws. However, in order to calculate reliable measurements, they face the tremendous challenge to gather heterogeneous sustainability information along their dynamic and complex supply chains. As there is no systematic support yet, the EU project SustainHub aims to develop an information system supporting complex sustainability data collection processes along supply chains. Therefore, the project’s consortium has established a solid base of requirements and state of the art which are presented in this paper in a consolidated way to enrich the discussion about life cycle management.
