This study conducts a comparative analysis of sustainable manufacturing practises within the automotive sectors in sweden and select european countries, emphasizing the adoption of sustainable frameworks related to CO2 emissions, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions, Energy consumptions, Portable water withdrawal, and Waste water disposal by various manufacturing companies from 2019 to 2023. The dataset used was sourced from the anual sustainability report from the selected car manufacturers.

Employing ANOVA and trend analysis, the reserch quantitatively evaluates how these countries have implemented these sustainability framwork over the five year period. Data collected from numerous automobile manufacturing firms reveal that, although Swedish manufacturers maintain strong performance across multiple sustainability metrics, there is notable variability among other European manufacturers. This variations underscores differencies in adoption rate and operational efficiencies, emphasizing the role of regulatory frameworks, economic incentives, and corporate cultures in sustainability. The analysis did not only benchmarks Sweden's performance against its European counterparts, but also pinpoints areas needing enhanced sustainable practices within the automotive industry.
