Abstract

This research article aims to identify sustainability
performance indicators (SPIs) and provide practical
guidance for assessing organizations and their supply
chains’ sustainability-related performances. We
conducted a systematic literature review to analyze
scientific journal articles related to sustainable supply
chains and performance measurement. We assessed
sustainability performance by identifying 1054
indicators from selected scientific journal articles.
In addition, in-depth analyses of selected journal
articles, predefined attribute categories, and the text
restructuring resulted in a unique and coherent list
of 68 SPIs. Of these SPIs, 47% originated from the
environmental sustainability dimension, 31% from
the social sustainability dimension, and 22% from the
economic sustainability dimension. The systematic
literature review’s results identified a complete lack of
agreement on how to measure organizations and their
supply chains’ sustainability performances.
