Purpose: The aim of this paper was to evaluate competitive position of European countries based on the achievement levels of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2022. The tool to achieve the goal was multidimensional comparative analysis. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents multivariate analysis based on euclidean distance from the Positive Development Pattern (PDP) to create ranking and to identify those European countries, which were characterized by the highest levels of individual SDG. The research was based on data selected from Europe Sustainable Development Report (2022). From 37 European countries there were selected 32 countries to analysis. The criterion for selecting countries (objects) was the completeness of available data. In the next step of the research was performed the analysis of indicators (SDG - Sustainable Development Goals) completeness. Findings: The results of the multivariate competitiveness analysis of 32 European countries based on their performance on the Sustainable Development Goals identified which countries performed best and which performed worst in this context. In addition, it was identified which countries performed best and which worst in achieving each of the 16 Sustainable Development Goals considered (for one of the SDGs, data was not complete). Research limitations/implications: For a proper interpretation of the assessment for each country under study, an in-depth knowledge of its specificities, both in the economic, social and environmental dimensions, is also necessary. It may then turn out that the achievements in the field of individual goals result, for example, from the baseline level in a given area or the real possibility of taking specific actions. Practical implications: Whereas the challenges faced by countries today, an assessment of the multivariate position of countries, taking into account their achievements in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals, seems to be entirely appropriate, as it provides a picture of the potential of individual countries in relation to their ability to cope with the problems that the international community has defined as key, and has included in the form of the SDGs. Social implications: The reference to sustainable development in the context of evaluate countries and their competitiveness fits in with the need to raise public awareness of the challenges of making this a reality and the role of countries in this process. Originality/value: The research results can contribute to a broader understanding of what a country's competitiveness is in the modern world and what sustainable factors shape it. The approach presented can complement and make more realistic the traditional onedimensional competitiveness rankings, especially in light of multivariate analysis and the challenges faced by modern states.
