Abstract: Sustainability has been always a major issue in businesses over the years, as it integrates the triple bottom line goals of the environment, social, and economic aspects. Dairy is an important sector in many nations since it generates a large number of jobs and economic activity. This article identifies key sustainable performance indicators (SPIs) that may be used as a decision-making variable in the assessment of dairy supply chain performance. The fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approaches has been utilised to analyse the SPIs. The total supply chain cost is the most significant SPI, with a weightage of 6.32% which is influenced by all indicators. Profit sharing and stakeholder relationship management are regarded as the least significant SPIs, with a weight of 4.28%. The findings might be used to further understand the SPIs along with sustainability measurement.

Keywords: sustainable dairy supply chain; sustainable performance indicators; SPIs; decision-making trial; evaluation laboratory; DEMATEL.
