Mapping of Sustainability Assessment Methodologies

Currently, industries are working to enhance their efficacy across financial, ecological, societal dimensions, making a major contribution for the purpose of achieving sustainable development, employing systematic evaluation instruments to assess their sustainability achievements. Various methods have been developed to define measurement instruments. The research purpose is to map a structure that aids organizations in evaluating their sustainability accomplishments that have been developed previously. To achieve this goal, a publication approach is used by placing special emphasis on 22 articles Scopus indexed publications. From these results, we identify metrics, scope, boundaries, and output types for decision-making. In a total of 12 articles using a mathematical model approach, 8 articles conducted a sustainability assessment based on available tools and proposed improvements. Furthermore, 2 articles combined mathematical models and existing assessment tools. In general, the results of this research underscore the importance of reliable data, appropriate methodological approaches, and the development of a holistic sustainability assessment tool to achieve meaningful assessment outcomes and support continuous improvement.
