description An excellent way of maintaining business performance is through sustainability; one of the essential elements of the sustainability transition process is the development of an innovative and constructive corporate culture through integration. This study therefore aims to determine the relationship between the integration of technology and sustainable performance. It focuses on Malaysian Standard (MS) ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 14001 certified manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Self-administered surveys were used to gather data and information for the study from 722 organizations operating in Malaysia. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The results identify significant associations between technology integration and sustainable performance from the perspective of economic, environmental and social performance. Technological integration has always been a significant predictor of sustainable performance, as it is a necessary and key driver in most industries in the environmental achievements of manufacturing firms. The findings from the study provide specific details on the relationship between the variables employed. Technological integration has been found to have a positive relationship with three dimensions of sustainable performance (the economic, environmental and social). A basis for future research and practical application is provided by a framework of identified associations to improve sustainability performance.
