“…The effects of sustainability on business performance have been the subject of research by numerous authors (Epstein & Roy, 2001;Maron, 2006;Wu, 2006;Li, Choi, & Chow, 2015;Morioka & Carvalho, 2016;Hussain, Rigoni & Cavezzali, 2018;Ahmad & Wong, 2018;Nizamuddin, 2018;Jung, Nam, Jang & Kim, 2018;El-Khalil & El-Kassar, 2018;Budsaratragoon & Jitmaneeroj, 2019). Epstein & Roy (2001) point out that a formal sustainability program can lead to cost reductions through better material management, lower energy consumption, waste reduction and the like.…”

“…Third, the authors conclude that implementing a stable and comprehensive measurement of sustainability performance can yield definitive results. Ahmad & Wong (2018) analyze studies addressing sustainability in the manufacturing industry from a triple-bottom line perspective, that is, economic, environmental and social. Today, manufacturing companies need to produce products with minimal environmental impact, conserve energy and natural resources, and provide security for employees and the community while achieving good economic performance.…”

“…In simple words, sustainability assessment can be defined as the process that evaluates the implications of an initiative on sustainability [41] and directs decision-making towards sustainability [20,42]. It is being increasingly seen as an important tool to aid in the shift towards sustainability [15,[43][44][45]. The objective of sustainability assessment is to ensure that products, processes, industries, activities, etc., make an optimal contribution to sustainable development [46].…”

“…Moreover, sustainability assessment can be undertaken at different levels and boundaries. From a manufacturing viewpoint, the plant/factory level assessment (including all manufacturing processes) gains more importance as it directly leads to energy uptake and emission, etc., and helps in internal decision-making for improving sustainability performance more effectively [15,50]. Currently, sustainability assessment based on the TBL concept is quite challenging when all three dimensions of sustainability are considered in a comprehensive way [51].…”
