The study has suggested that the sustainability can be achieved by using the resources and equipments properly. However, Mitchell (2015) mentioned that resources can be used properly only when the organizations have right strategy and infrastructure to use that. Operational efficiency helps the business organizations to use minimum resources and use the renewable resources. Due to this, the costs of the company also can be lowered down. At the same time, if the organization use less resource and create less pollution through operational excellence, then it can create a positive brand image in the market (Ojha 2015). However, in order to use the renewable energy sources, the organizations must have the stand-alone system, which is effective to decrease the environmental hazards. Therefore, by operational excellence the organization not only can reduce its cost level but it can improve its brand image also, which ultimately improves its sustainability level. Conclusion From the above study, it can be said that operational excellence is the most important thing for achieving the sustainability in todays context. It helps to improve the performance standard of the business and at the same time also improves the environmental as well as business sustainability level.
