Sustainability has recently been acknowledged as a crucial issue in infrastructure projects. Developing a model to evaluate project sustainability according to sustainability indicators plays a major role in promoting the sustainable development of water environment treatment public-private partnership (PPP) projects. Traditional sustainability assessments are mostly based on the triple bottom line (economic, social, and environmental) and lack a more integrated indicator system. To connect the research gap, this paper identifies 27 factors that affect the sustainability of water environment treatment PPP projects from five dimensions: economy, society, resources and environment, engineering, and project management using exploratory factor analysis. The fitting degree between the model and original data is verified by confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the fitting was successful. This paper makes two contributions: first, it provides a comprehensive sustainability evaluation indicator system from five aspects, laying a foundation for the evaluation of project sustainability. Second, this study defines a methodology to evaluate and rank factors, identifies the indicators that show the most significant impact on project sustainability in the five dimensions, which provide a reliable reference for the public and private sector to take appropriate measures to improve the sustainability level of water environment treatment public-private partnership projects.

“…Through SR initiatives, organizations are able to incorporate in their strategy and decisions the social and environmental effects of their activities [8]. SR is an important issue in PPPs because it has become the agenda of many governments to promote sustainable development-a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [5]. Though many governments are keen to bridge their huge infrastructure gaps through PPPs, they are also conscious of the fact that PPPs involve a complex myriad of activities; therefore, they have a huge impact on society, the economy, and the environment [35].…”

Sustainability is a global issue and its enhancement through modern forms of procurements, such as public-private partnership (PPP), has become topical considering the huge impact of PPP activities on society, the economy, and the environment. However, one way of promoting sustainability thorough PPPs is the adoption of social responsibility (SR) initiatives/factors. This paper aims to empirically investigate the SR factors in PPPs through a comparative study between China and Ghana. An empirical questionnaire survey was conducted in both China and Ghana. Further, the mean score ranking, Kendall's coefficient of concordance, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for data analysis. Results show that SR factors related to the economic efficiency of PPP projects and climate change adaptation are critical in China, whereas in Ghana, SR factors directly related to job creation and environmental protection are critical. The outputs of this study inform investors of the critical SR initiatives to consider when engaging in PPPs in Asia and Africa. In addition, they provide a solid knowledge base for the continuous international debate on how sustainability could be enhanced through PPP policy.

“…Patil and Laishram () indicated that to transform the concept of sustainable development into a practical reality, it should be possible to evaluate whether the development is sustainable or not. The evaluation of sustainability in a quantitative manner is adopted to make sustainable development efficient (Toumi, Gallo, & Ben Rejeb, ).…”

“…Existing PPPs sustainable evaluation tools are mainly designed for environment or economic sustainability (Diaz‐Sarachaga, Jato‐Espino, Alsulami, & Castro‐Fresno, ; Olakitan Atanda, ). Even though several evaluation tools have begun focusing on the social sustainability, they are mainly designed for the individual project, aiming to translate the SDGs into concrete actions at the project level (Chou, Tserng, Lin, & Huang, ; Hueskes et al, ; Patil & Laishram, ). However, regional PPP policy decision‐making process at the institutional level should be a key factor of PPP sustainability governance mechanism (Chou et al, ; Hueskes et al, ; Lenferink, Tillema, & Arts, ; Patil, Tharun, & Laishram, ).…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.
