“…Often, the enterprise profitability can lead to more socially beneficial activities, such as caring for disadvantaged groups, donating materials, and building local infrastructure. In addition, such enterprises could also implement better green designs and manufacturing policies, and even work towards the creation of a green supply chain [ 5 , 8 ]. It is clear from the INRM that these eight criteria produce a complex set of arrows that reflect the need to focus on multiple indicators for a enterprise to move toward sustainability.…”

“…Both I1 and I2 are systems promoted by governments and related organizations to encourage the sustainable development and upgrading of industry, to promote enterprise sustainability and their contribution to national economic and social development. However, these systems require a variety of economic and social supports to implement [ 8 ]. In addition, both I3 and E2 are significantly influenced by E1 and R3.…”

“…To make enterprise sustainability evaluations more comprehensive and rigorous, Chang et al [ 8 ] proposed a novel model for assessing sustainable suppliers that adds institutional sustainability to illustrate how government policy support can significantly influence enterprise sustainability. In addition, sustainability-related issues are increasingly being enriched by the inclusion of institutional sustainability in industry sustainability evaluation questions [ 27 , 28 ].…”

“…To date, despite the emphasis on economic, environmental, and social sustainability in the literature, there has been little consideration of the institutional and risk control perspectives of sustainability. Chang et al [ 8 ] suggest that the implementation of subsidized financial lending by central or local governments can help companies to transform themselves towards sustainability. Their findings echo the institutional sustainability advocated by Agrawal [ 9 ].…”

With the increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable development, the evaluation of sustainability performance for the manufacturing has become an emerging issue of importance. Although many scholars have studied the issue of enterprise sustainability, to date, the institutional and risk control perspectives of sustainability have received less attention, particularly in manufacturing practices. To address research gap, this study develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating enterprise sustainability that encompasses the economic, social, environmental, institutional, and risk control dimensions. A novel group decision-making approach, called the Rough-Fermatean Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory technique is proposed, which identifies the mutual relationships among the 15 evaluation criteria and generates the influence weights. Fermatean fuzzy theory is used to reflect the subjective judgment of experts and the inherent uncertainty in evaluation. Moreover, rough set theory is used to aggregate the multiple experts’ opinions and to retain potential information in the form of interval values. A case study of Taiwan’s electronics manufacturers is carried out to demonstrate the practicality and validity of the proposed approach. The results show that goodwill and corporate image, zero emission of pollutants and waste discharge, and corporate governance are the most influential sustainability criteria. This study can assist decision-makers in the manufacturing sector in developing more appropriate improvement strategies. Enterprises can improve their competitiveness and move towards sustainable development by first focusing on the more influential criteria. For academic researchers, the proposed framework and methodology can be applied to the discussion of sustainability evaluation in other industries.

“…However, there is a dearth of studies that provide understanding on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable supplier selection. This is in spite of the vital role of sustainable supplier selection for firms to enhance the overall sustainable development capacity of supply chains ( Chang et al, 2021 ). Notably, prior studies exist in extant literature on the topic of sustainable supplier selection particularly in the manufacturing sector ( Gao et al, 2020 , Hendiani et al, 2020 , Jain and Singh, 2020 , Kannan et al, 2020 , Khan et al, 2018 , Orji and Wei, 2015 , Rashidi et al, 2020 , Stevic et al, 2020 ).…”

Over the years, sustainable supplier selection (SSS) has become increasingly popular among scholars and practitioners as a viable means to actualize supply chain sustainability. Little, however, is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable supplier selection particularly in the manufacturing sector. In this paper, we present pandemic response strategies as a significant aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact and investigate the relative importance of such strategies in SSS implementation. Drawing upon a rich data pool from the Nigerian manufacturing sector, we proposed an integrated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology to analyse the interrelationships between the COVID-19 pandemic response strategies and Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL) criteria for SSS. Our analysis shows that economic criteria and pandemic response strategies are the highest ranked in terms of relative importance and thereby pinpoints the need for manufacturing firms to emphasize such during SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, quality, cost, use of personal protective equipment and use of information technologies for customer demand prediction are inferred as highly significant in SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed methodology was validated by a comparative analysis with other MCDM methods. Therefore, this study presents implications on the significance of pandemic response strategies in SSS and thereby enriches literature on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on supply chains.
