Abstract Sustainability as the business definition of the concept of sustainable development is a multidimensional concept which has three categories including economic, environmental, and social. Problems arise as we try to reduce the number of categories from three to one. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods provide a suitable framework where these variables can be used collectively. In this study, we suggest an algorithm based on a hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model to measure corporate sustainability performance. The Entropy method was used to find out criteria weightings, and Topsis and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) methods were used to define performance ranking of alternatives. The suggested methodology was used to measure the corporate sustainability performance of a company from the white goods industry in Turkey. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis by changing criteria weightings, and therefore, tested the sensitivity of the results. It was concluded that the suggested approach could be used effectively in measuring sustainability performance.
