Rapid growth within the industry sector creates an array of novel issues that have to be dealt with. Major problems as a consequence of continuous and quick development of industry are as follows: the need for high energy consumption (be it electric or thermal), the increase in the level of environmental pollution, and the treatment of waste. Countries in transition, characterized by “an industry in the making”, need to seriously consider the above-mentioned issues. The industry should be subject to professional analysis (the application of resource efficiency and cleaner production) in order to achieve an adequate use of resources. Furthermore, as a result of increased resource efficiency, the industry sector and enterprises will benefit. Greater effectiveness will undoubtedly encourage the use of cleaner production and the launch of the Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) application in the developing countries (such as the Kosovo case). This research focused on the promotion of sustainable development based on RECP in Kosovo. Based on RECP, analysis has been conducted with the help of the method of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making – Analytic Hierarchy Process for all levels of decision-making. The process is based on four main pillars of sustainable development: environmental, technical, economic, and social. Through RECP, there have been identified specific areas in need of improvement in order to achieve the level within the allowed norms of rational energy consumption, minimize environmental pollution and waste, and maximize the profits of the industry sector (enterprises), which, in turn, can lead to the creation of more jobs.

Human resources are the most important part of the operation in an enterprise. Based on this logic, companies must continuously invest in increasing the performance of internal capacity through the creation of their strategies which will define clear developing objectives. Enterprises, be it large or small companies, private or public, especially companies with energy profiles such as power plants or district heating, to offer their services, an internal organization of a high level is needed. This arrangement inevitably must include human resources. In our case, we have analysed the functioning of District Heating "Termokos" in Pristina, which for a year now operates with a new system of providing thermal energycogeneration project. Of course this also requires changes in the functioning of the enterprise reorganization, since we are dealing with the creation of new departments which require qualified and professional framework. During the analysis, we will focus on current data that we have from District Heating. To process the data we are using recognized statistical methods and similar models through which we will give our recommendations, for better functioning of the enterprise

Sustainable Development and Decision Making are just two of the many processes that affect the industry sector. SDG7, SDG8, SDG9 and SDG 12 as four goals of sustainable development show the indicators we have to deal with, given that the energy, industry, economy and production are closely connected. This research focuses on promoting sustainable development in the industry, by testing very important indicators using the MCDM method. Our analysis was carried out with the help of a multi-criteria decision-making method - the Hierarchical Analytical Process. Through this method, we have identified specific areas that need improvement, the importance of the indicators separately, ranking so by their importance and impact in the industry, economy and production.
