Abstract The purpose of this study was to improve the sustainability measurement of indicators by using corporate social responsibilities (CSR) reports, examine the degree of interaction between these indicators, and analyze the trend of the performance towards the CS goals set up over the past years. If managers review and identify key indicators regularly, these key indicators will help arrive at long-term performance goals, which will also be an essential reference for the transportation industry's business decision-making. Most of the selected indicators suffer from a significant technical problem: all of the measurement dimensions are independent, leading to inadequate indicators for measuring CS/CSR. Our calculations consider the interrelationships and effects among the evaluation dimensions and indicators to precisely rank and select indicators. This study's value is that it provides HSR with a direction for measuring and improving their CSR to develop sustained competitive advantage over the long term. This study implemented Taiwan's Railway Transportation Corporate as a case study and applied the DEMATEL-ANP Based Method (DANP) to analyze and standardize discrete indicator and synthetic performance indices using critical indicators from CSR reports. The results showed that the Service Quality (SQ), Operation Effect, and Customer Satisfaction (CS) were ranked the top three key factors, and the discrete indicators and synthetic performance indices of the corporate were all positive and consistent with the trend of its sustainable development.
