Abstract: Abstract This article studies various data-based characteristics essential for creating a platform for greening the business and its processes. The Green Six Sigma (GSS) can be defined as the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the direct and eventual environmental effects of all processes and products of an organization. The activities involve the systematic usage of infrastructure and manpower, optimum use of technology, and accountability of sustainable business practices. Various green quality tools, measures, and indicators are discussed. The leading indicators are the indicator that precedes the occurrence of something. It is used to signal the upcoming occurrence of an event, whereas an indicator that follows the occurrence of something is called the lagging indicators. Some quality guidelines in the context of sustainable business practices are also discussed in this article.
