Abstract: Sustainable manufacturing (SM) is one of the growing research fields which aim to replace traditional processes with an inventive approach of combining environmental, social, and economic aspects. The present study is focused on the development of a framework based on the relationships between sustainable manufacturing enablers and organizational performance outcomes. Based on the extensive literature review and experts' inputs, hypotheses were framed, later validated, and modified. A questionnaire was developed, and data collection was done to validate the developed hypotheses. The present case has collected 239 responses from Indian manufacturing organizations through online and offline modes. A structural model was developed to depict the relationships between sustainable manufacturing enablers and organizational performance outcomes by applying Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SPSS AMOS Software. The developed model was validated through three different model fit indices. All the model fit indices were within the acceptable ranges, which represent the compatibility of the developed framework. The present study highlighted that the strategic alignment of organizations towards improving sustainable performance would assist them in maintaining their persistence and market position. The present study is one of its initiative studies to establish and test the relationships among SM enablers and organizational performance outcomes for Indian manufacturing organizations.
