Abstract


Addressing manufacturing companies sustainability issue can be seen as a fine balance between environmental resilience, humans and financial net benefits. In the literature, the issue of organizational sustainability is analyzed extensively, but still unclear and debatable. Hence, it’s very difficult to evaluate organizational sustainability, given the lack of consensus on addressing this issue. The paper purpose is to improve the manufacturing company’s sustainability evaluation process. Using multiple correspondence analysis on a final sample of 30 large companies (listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange) from Romania, the research results consist in identifying a manufacturing company sustainable profile.
