Abstract

One of the main challenges for managers in recent days is their main focus on sustainable development. Sustainable development with various dimensions such as economic sustainability, social sustainability, political stability and environmental sustainability requires a holistic approach, but the priority of some programs and policies in each of the sustainable development axes is in line with the requirements of the same region and country. On the other hand, social responsibility of organizations and companies is not merely viewed as a moral obligation or social marketing, but a great element in the missing link between government policies and corporate policies. This research has been selected to prioritize the dimensions of sustainable development as well as the dimensions of social responsibility of managers with the Delphi approach of the experts and the hierarchical analysis method, according to the opinion of social sustainability experts as the best criterion for sustainable development and management responsibility as a preferred option. Accordingly, it can be done in the role of managers in industrial and metropolitan communities, with priority being given to social sustainability and the involvement of environmental strategies in the responsibilities of managers.
