Human societies and researchers ensued that the continuation of a one-dimensional development focused on economic benefits can endanger the survival and tranquility of humanity, after experiencing a period of economic development and due to the advantages and disadvantages of this type of development. Concerns and damages of the environment and social challenges have led to the evolution of a three-dimensional concept of development based on economy, environment and society being known as sustainable development. Due to different indicators in each dimension of sustainability, finding effective ones is substantial. Supply chains are one of the most important and comprehensive domains in which sustainability led to better integration of layers and improve the total performance. On the other hand, current literatures demonstrate serious gap in representing comprehensive and integrated guidelines in order to optimize environmental and social indicators impacts in the management of supply chain. In this paper, all possible indicators for sustainability are collected, mapped into the layers of supply chain and inserted to a proposed mathematical model. The outputs are the effective indicators in three dimensions of sustainability for all layers of supply chain maximizing the sustainability of the whole supply chain. The proposed approach is implemented in a fishery supply chain.
