A conceptual framework for an adaptive sustainability assessment for industry and further research potential.

Sustainability assessment is an important stage in the implementation of sustainable development for the industry. This paper proposed a framework for an adaptive sustainability assessment for the industry in achieving industry 4.0 goals through a systematic literature review. This study analysed related papers to sustainability assessment in Scopus database using descriptive statistics and a Scientometric approach. A VOS-Viewer software was applied to find related keywords and gaps to develop an adaptive sustainability assessment model for the industry. The result showed that there were 13,099 papers related to sustainability assessment which were published in Scopus database since 1980. The keywords networks and gap analysis using VOS-Viewer indicated that artificial intelligence and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) offered a great potential framework for sustainability assessment. This study designed a comprehensive framework organized by sustainability indicators analysis, artificial intelligence modelling for the assessment, and GIS for the sustainability performance dashboard. Research in sustainability assessment offered great potential for further analysis in any area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
