The research has a tiered structure, consisting of: 1) the clarification of the marketing objectives in sustainable development concept; 2) an analysis of existing methodologies for the eco-assessment of product marketing; 3) justification of the diagnostic methodology for the eco-oriented dimensions of marketing (using the LCA method) in purpose of promoting industrial products.

Methodological approaches to the application of the LCA method in industrial management and marketing have been analyzed. The criteria for the assessment of the life cycle of products from the viewpoint of the development of a marketing mix for sustainable development have been identified. A diagnostic methodology for the eco-oriented dimensions of the elements of product marketing has been justified.
