At present in Russia there is no unified generally accepted concept for assessing the results of sustainable development of industrial regions. In the paper, based on a review of Russian and foreign research, the authors have made an attempt to generalize modern concepts, and also present their vision of assessing the results of industrial regions sustainable development. The urgency of the research is due to the need for the practical implementation of the sustainable development concept. The authors see the essence of sustainable development of industrial regions in an organization of current activities and meeting the needs of modern residents of the region, which would not harm natural environment. It has been noted that large industrial plants, evaluating the results of sustainable development, are beginning to use foreign methods. As the influence of large enterprises forming an industrial cluster in the region on the economy, society and natural environment is great, the authors consider it expedient to use their developments in the field of assessing the results of sustainable development. To assess the results of sustainable development of industrial regions, it has been proposed to use 33 indicators of GRI Standards which include economic, environmental and social “thematic standards”.
