Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development is a process through which the needs of the present generation are satisfied without damaging the benefits or resources for meeting the needs of succeeding generations. Sustainable development could help to realize a society with far better conditions than those in today’s society, especially for future generations. This study proposes a comprehensive multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method that draws on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) sets to assess sustainable development at companies. The method proposed incorporates analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) under IVIF environment. An IVIF set is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty by taking degrees of membership and non-membership functions in an interval. The results of the IVIF-AHP showed that “ecologic impacts” had the highest weight among the main criteria. The study used IVIF-WASPAS to rank the companies in terms of organizational sustainable development. This study could provide practical guidelines for decision-makers seeking to implement sustainable development in their organizations. In order to validate robustness of the proposed method, sensitivity analyses are implemented. Also, at the end of the study, to prove the superiority of the proposed approach, a comparative analysis is employed.
