Abstract
Since its inception, the Sustainable Development Division (SDD) has run a track in the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering (IISE) Annual Conference. Different topics have been associated to this track. This indicates that a vast variety of ideas have been associated to the effort of developing sustainable Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) practices. These works have been revisited and categorized utilizing the Triple Bottom Line framework by topics and countries of origin, in an effort to recognize potential patterns. Findings suggest that establishing a unique definition for 'sustainability' in the context of IISE seems a futile enterprise. Increasing the variety of responses, rather than reducing it, appears to be a better strategy to disseminate principles, particularly those from the United Nations 2030 sustainable development goals among IISE professionals.
