This paper reports the findings of a survey carried in 150 Indian manufacturing organisations over five sectors namely automobile, machine tool/equipment, electrical/electronics, process and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) through a well designed and validated instrument/questionnaire. The results of this survey give the top ten SS and SE benefits, SS and SE criteria, SD benefits, SD criteria and SD activities according to their level of importance. The practitioners and academicians working in this area can use the results of this survey to decide the importance level of these factors in their organisation. This study can be precise for a specific sector or type of industry by modifying the instrument/questionnaire, based on the opinion of experts from the specific sector or type of industry.
