Sustainability or sustainable development is based on and used to balance between the three pillars/dimensions: economy, society and environment. The SD means making decisions that recognize the longer term impacts of actions on economy, society, and environment.

This approach is validated by using a real life case study. The results show how the framework is helpful for manufacturing firms to evaluate the sustainability index.
