Purpose: The objective of this paper is to assess the level of sustainability of the UK automotive\udsupply chain (SC) considering simultaneously the three dimensions of sustainability (economic,\udsocial and environmental) representing the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach.\udDesign/methodology/approach: The assessment of the automotive SC’ sustainability is based\udon the framework proposed by Salvado, Azevedo, Matias and Ferreira (2015) and uses the Simple\udAdditive Weighting (SAW) method to aggregate economic, environmental and social indicators\udinto a unique index. A case study on the UK automotive industry is used and the data to perform\udthis study is collected from the sustainability reports of the UK’ automotive companies from\ud1999 to 2014.\udFindings: The proposed framework represents an important benchmarking tool, offering\udmanagers the opportunity for assessing the sustainability behaviour of their supply chains and\udcompare it with other supply chains. Once identified the dimension of sustainability where the\udsupply chain is worst performer managers can work closer to their supply chain’ partners in order\udto improve the performance of those dimension of sustainability.\udResearch limitations/implications: One limitation of the suggested approach is related to the\udambiguity associated to the selection process of the sustainability’ indicators and the definition of\udweights for each sustainability’ dimension. Practical implications: The assessment of the SC sustainability by using the suggested\udframework to compute a SC sustainability index offers managers an opportunity for assessing the\udlevel of sustainability of each individual company and the corresponding SC in a very easy way. It\udalso represents an opportunity for improving company performance. In this way managers can\uduse the information on the sustainability index to help adjusting their company’s behaviour and\udimproving their economic, social and environmental performance.\udOriginality/value: The proposed framework represents a contribution in the area of index\udconstruction and a valuable component of organizational management systems and monitoring\udprograms.Peer Reviewe
