The purpose of this study is to strength information of sustainability Reports (SusRs) toward achieving sustainable development (SusD) according to SustainableDevelopment Goals (UN_SDGs). So, we proposed a robust framework for enhancing and appraising corporate sustainability performance by integrating BI in SusRs to provides a structured approach for nterprises.Due to ability of BI to facilitate collect, analyze, and report processes on sustainability data. Additionality it leads to informed decision-making and improved sustainability outcomes. Our framework highlights the importance of SusR and its impact on stakeholder engagement and transparency. Moreover, it emphasized the potential of BI in enhancing the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of sustainability reporting. The framework's practical application is demonstrated through a case study, which showcases how it can be used to identify sustainability risks and opportunities and develop effective sustainability strategies. Generally, our work contributes to the growing body of research on corporate sustainability by providing a comprehensive framework that can help companies to achieve their sustainability goals while driving business performance.
