N2 - This study aims to develop a framework for evaluating the impact of sustainability practices on performance across the product or service life-cycle. Using a structured questionnaire, the research identifies the relationship between various sustainability factors at different life-cycle stages, employing structural equation modeling to pinpoint key influences on sustainability performance. Data from 104 respondents in multiple Saudi Arabian oil and gas companies revealed that the sustainable manufacturing process stage most strongly supports life-cycle sustainability in achieving better sustainability performance. The findings are reinforced by practical examples and best practices from the petrochemical industry. The proposed framework is intended to help oil and gas companies assess and enhance their sustainability performance.
