The concept of Sustainable Production is evolving with changes triggered by the emergence new economic and industrial models such as Circular Economy Industry 4.0. However, most studies that currently link these concepts are based on principles defined 20 years ago. Therefore, primary aim this study to redefine should govern operations in transition towards a smart industry models. To end, an initial proposal 11 was shared world-class experts (academics practitioners) consensus sought through Delphi Panel. Ten emerged from study, which were evaluated according criteria significance, parsimony, semantic consistency empirical adequacy. Additionally, relationships between ten principles, Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) technique applied. ISM identified independent or dependent each other established principles. findings suggest Principle 5 (“Prioritize employees' well-being”), 6 (“Enhance management commitment sustainability”), 9 (“Measure optimize sustainable processes”) 10 (“Boost use technologies”) help establish ideal context enhance development rest characterize Production. presentation opens possibilities for researchers while helping managers better understand sustainability terms production and, therefore contribute achieving SDG 12.

However, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies are an important part of the CE for environmentally friendly companies. In this study, we examine whether pressure (RP) (CP) toward sustainability motivate firms implement I4.0 CE, along with mediating effects environmental orientation (EO). PLS‐SEM via SmartPLS software was used analyze data 230 managers automotive auto component manufacturing industries India. The findings study showed RP CP positively influence adoption, which impacts capability.
