Summary/Abstract: Measurement of business sustainability is a relevant step towards converting theoretical goal of sustainable development into practice. In the paper, indicators were used as a tool of the sustainability measurement. Indicators are useful tools for summarizing and condensing complex data into meaningful information for decision - makers. Sustainable development policy is realized at different levels, including the company level. The identified indicator frameworks in the literature, that are available to measure sustainability at the company level, do not effectively address all aspects of sustainability at operational level, including the specific of the business activity as well as cultural and economic conditions characteristic for each region/country. This study has proposed a comprehensive indicator framework in the context of dismantling facility, in Poland. In the paper, authors propose a new method of sustainability measurement system, on the basis of the theoretic background of the sustainability indicators and experts’ knowledge. Final result of the paper is appropriate sustainability indicators’ set, dedicated for dismantling facility, supporting sustainable policy realization in Poland.
