A triple bottom line balanced set of key performance indicators to measure the sustainability performance of industrial supply chains

The measurement of sustainability within industrial supply chains is becoming increasingly relevant, with both industry and academia calling for the development a general manageable set key performance indicators (KPIs). With more than 2,000 measures already identified by previous literature, real challenge lays in right indicators. Stemming from thorough literature review, we propose novel KPIs, based on Balance Score Card - Supply Chain Operations Reference integrated framework. Whilst including limited number proposed set: i) assures balanced coverage pillars related intersections; ii) addresses different decision-making levels, financial bases components performance; iii) simultaneously tackles an entire chain. We empirically validated 3 7 focal firms, assessing its completeness, usefulness ease use. resulted suitable contexts application appropriate evaluation overall conclude remarks academia, policy-makers, also sketching directions further research.
