To examine the relationship between sustainable manufacturing practices and multi-dimensional sustainability performance spanning environmental, economic, and social domains.
Surveyed 443 ISO 14001 certified manufacturing companies in Malaysia using a structured questionnaire.
Applied structural equation modelling to assess the direct relationships between sustainable manufacturing stages and overall sustainability performance.
Identified the active manufacturing process stage as having the strongest positive impact on boosting sustainability performance relative to other production stages.
Demonstrated that certified manufacturing firms focus predominantly on production-bound interventions rather than broader lifecycle phases when implementing sustainability initiatives.
