Popis: The main objective of this study is to identify the value and contribution of the green GDP as an indicator of sustainability, having as a case study an industry of the metalworking industry in Santa Catarina, with research period from 2010 to 2016. To legitimize the objective proposed, it is used the fundamental equation of the green PIB, adapting it to its measurement in the studied industry, making possible its use as indicator of sustainability of the industrial activity in question. From the point of view of methodological procedures, it is an exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, bibliographic, documentary and ex post facto study. As for the results of the industry studied, there is much to be improved, since in the future years the industry will continue to increase its industrial GDP and green GDP will remain with the average percentage change of 57% in relation to industrial GDP, according to the calculations, the consequence is the unsustainability of its industrial activity in the medium and long term. Therefore, given the results and from the point of view of regional development, the green GDP brings not only the result of local or regional business sustainability, but the results of the current business productive scenario.
