Abstract
development goals. The paper proposes a framework for a comprehensive set of indicators for the identification of more sustainable environmental performance for industrial zones. The indicator system cover aspects of Environmental sustainability performance. The framework is applicable across industries; however, more specific indicators for different sectors have to be defined. Thus, it serves as a tool that can assist environmental planners and decision-makers in assessing their performance concerning the goals and objectives of sustainable development. The methodology developed to identify key indicators utilized for evaluating sustainable environmental performance consists of three basic steps to further strengthen the process of assessing sustainability and identifying adaption strategies. The key indicators restricting for industry development, and adaptation and recommendation policy forward to enhance industry development
