Abstract

Sustainability is a more and more important issue for humanity. The evolution of sustainability models, methods, and indicators has started in the 20th century. One can say that quality management deals with a bit less important issues, but it does so from the first half of the 20th century. However, the two fields have several common points as customers and companies start to recognize the importance of sustainability as well. Based on these common objectives and other similarities between the two fields, this research tries to start to investigate the common understanding and the current common usage of these areas. Quality management shows how to understand and implement models, tools and nowadays its whole system is a generic, accepted part of the organizations’ daily life. Quality management logic (i.e. how to choose the correct and most effective methodology and model to solve the issues; how to apply them) can be a platform to support the implementation of the sustainable development aspects.
