This study is motivated to empirically investigate the effects of supply chain sustainability strategy on sustainable performance indicators in the manufacturing technology sector. Methodology: The study employs a purposive sampling technique and selected Siemens Company to analyses the Siemens DEGREE sustainability strategy framework. Secondary data from Siemens sustainability reports and annual reports from 2019 to 2023 were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Findings: Findings reveals that decarbonization of the DEGREE Key Performance indicators has consistently achieve all decarbonization key performance indicators by Siemens targets and also met the SDGs GHG emissions targets by 2030.
