Abstract
Sustainability, with the concept of “triple bottom line”, has been growing as a “trending topic” recently. It is no longer a paradox; it is now about how to turn this challenge or opportunity into day-to-day management decisions to achieve advantage in both financial performance and corporate sustainability. In conjunction with it, there is a growing need for a better way to develop, assess and measure organization’s sustainability performance. This paper discussed a three-stage systematic literature review that is being deployed as the research framework, to scope how sustainability assessments have been developed recently and to formulate the State of the Art for future research. It reviewed 63 selected articles out of 875 papers from Science Direct database. Based on our review, as the novelty proposed by this publication, there were two major approaches used in developing sustainability assessment i.e. criteria-based and model-based approaches. Both approaches had similar popularity in publication: 57% for criteria-based and 43% for model-based. Each had its strengths and weaknesses, but the model-based approach was chosen for future development of the conceptual framework. Furthermore, the review indicated that several main concepts were being used for sustainability assessment and guided the future development into the concept of Business Process Management and Corporate Sustainability.
Highlights
Organizations are facing more challenges in the globalized world because society demands them to be responsible on creating a more sustainable world
Many publications showed that the formulation of indicators in the sustainability assessment often used the concept of sustainability or Triple Bottom Line which comprised of three aspects: people, profit and planet
This paper described on how the three-stage systematic literature review gave a scientific contribution in providing, for the best of authors’ understanding, a helicopter-view about the expansion of the publications related to the interest topic
Summary
Organizations are facing more challenges in the globalized world because society demands them to be responsible on creating a more sustainable world. They are forced to think about the impact of their actions in a more diverse way to include social and environment responsibility. The application of sustainability concept has been interpreted differently by industry and academia in Indonesia. Some related studies ([1], [2], [3], [4]) revealed that the sustainability concept has been applied in many aspects such as performance measurement, economic, educational and social life
