AB  - Purpose – This study aims to assess the efficiency of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS)
countries in achieving sustainable development by analyzing their ability to convert resources and
technological innovations into sustainable outcomes.
Design/methodology/approach – Using data envelopment analysis (DEA), the study evaluates the
economic, environmental and social efficiency of BRICS countries over the period 2010–2018. It ranks these
countries based on their sustainable development performance and compares them to the period 2000–2007.
Findings – The study reveals varied efficiency levels among BRICS countries. Russia and South Africa lead
in certain sustainable development aspects. South Africa excels in environmental sustainability, whereas
Brazil is efficient in resource utilization for sustainable growth. China and India, despite economic growth,
face challenges such as pollution and lower quality of life.
Research limitations/implications – The study’s findings are constrained by the DEA methodology
and the selection of variables. It highlights the need for more nuanced research incorporating recent global
events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical shifts.
Practical implications – Insights from this study can inform targeted and effective sustainability
strategies in BRICS nations, focusing on areas such as industrial quality improvement, employment
conditions and environmental policies.
Social implications – The study underscores the importance of balancing economic growth with social
and environmental considerations, highlighting the need for policies addressing inequality, poverty and
environmental degradation.
Originality/value – This research provides a unique comparative analysis of BRICS countries’ sustainable
development efficiency, challenging conventional perceptions and offering a new perspective on their progress.
