The purpose of this article is to describe the method proposed by the author for assessing the sustainability potential of a transport company. The interrelation of the categories “sustainability” and “sustainable development” in relation to the company is characterized taking into account the main provisions of the concept of sustainable development. The definition of the company’s sustainability is given, and the positive effects of the formation and development of the company’s sustainability potential are described. A review of the definitions of such a category as “sustainability”, as well as methodological approaches to assessing the company’s sustainability, proposed by Russian and foreign researchers, is carried out. The category “stability potential” of the enterprise is defined and a list of indicators recommended for calculating the stability potential of a motor transport company is given. The method proposed by the author for assessing the company’s sustainability potential is presented. An example of calculating an integral indicator that characterizes the stability potential of a conditional road transport company is given. The calculation of the threshold values of the stability corridor of a company operating in the Russian market of road freight transportation is performed. The main stages of the calculation of the transport company’s stability potential indicator are described, as well as the features of their implementation. Auxiliary tables are provided for translating a number of indicators into a comparable form. A graphical interpretation of the results of using the method for assessing the stability potential on the example of a conditional road transport company is presented.
