Despite the increased awareness of corporate sustainability, questions remain on how to measure performance. The objective of this paper is to propose a new measurement method, which is Multimoora Sort, for corporate sustainability performance and make an empirical case with the 25 companies listed in Fortune 500 USA. We chose four economic subcriteria, two environmental subcriteria, and four social subcriteria for the methodology. The results of the study show that the proposed methodology is a practical and efficient decision method.The most important contribution of the study to the literature is to present a new evaluation method in the measurement of sustainability performance as well as the results of the empirical case are supported by the resource dependency theory, institutional theory, and stakeholder theory.

Food loss is one of the factors that lead to severe problems in food security, environment, global and regional and national economies around the world today. The issue of food loss reduction has recently achieved much public attention to combat global hunger and improve food security. There is a growing trend about determining food loss prevention and recovery programs all around the world. Similarly, the number of studies that focus on food loss issues has been increased but these studies mostly give attention to consumer/household stages. Thus, this paper aims to gather and synthesize all food loss drivers that are found in empirical studies. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was conducted. We examined articles from different journals, which are published between 2011 and 2018. Results of the systematic literature review revealed that four drivers cause food loss in the production stage; five drivers lead to food loss in the processing stage and five drivers are the reason for food loss in the distribution and retailing stage.
