Sustainability concept has been formally embraced into business since 1987 through the Brundtland Commission reports (Goni et al., 2015). This notion aims to preserve economic and social advancement while protecting the long-term value of the environment (Gauthier and Wooldridge, 2018). Morioka et al. (2017) stated that the organisations are gradually embedding the sustainability concept into their corporate to endure the competitive advantage. They integrate all sustainability aspects consisting environment, economic, and social into their business processes for adding their business value (Goni et al., 2017). During the implementation of sustainability, organisations face the problem of data and information separation (Chofreh et al., 2014a). Shen (2018) mentioned that they have difficulty tracking their sustainability performance as data and information are not readily available. As a result, decision making becomes inaccurate and redundant. This problem will hinder the achievement of sustainability goals within an organisation (Ahmed and Sundaram, 2012). There is a need to align information system strategy with the sustainability strategy to achieve effective sustainability implementation. Chofreh et al. (2014a) had proposed the Enterprise Sustainable Resource Planning (S-ERP) system to support organisations in addressing segregation issues. This system is a new idea of enterprise systems that help organisations to integrate all entities into their value chains. For implementing the S-ERP systems, practitioners need a master plan that delivers a comprehensive plan of action. Chofreh et al. (2016a) recommended a master plan that presents a holistic plan to implement the S-ERP system. This system embraces three interlocking features including a roadmap, framework, and guidelines. The S-ERP roadmap had been developed by Chofreh et al. (2017a) in their second part of the study and evaluated by Chofreh et al. (2017b) in their third part of the study. The roadmap shows process group to complete the S-ERP systems implementation. The results revealed that the S-ERP implementation roadmap consists of two parts: sustainable enterprise roadmap and sustainably integrated enterprise roadmap. Each of roadmaps includes several phases consisting pre-implementation (initiating, planning, and monitoring/controlling), implementation (planning, executing, closing/transition, and monitoring/controlling), and postimplementation (plan, do, check, and act). The S-ERP framework was developed by Chofreh et al. (2017c) in their fourth part of the study. The framework shows important aspects to consider in implementing the S-ERP systems. The framework comprises of two main aspects including sustainability paradigm (environment, economic, and social) and decisional paradigm (strategy, tactic, and operation). The present study contributes to the evaluation of the S-ERP framework using expert review. Twelve experts from the related field involved in the evaluation process. The collected data is then qualitatively analysed using ATLAS.ti 6 analysis software. The analysis results indicate that the framework requires being divided into two parts: sustainability implementation framework and S-ERP deployment framework. Further explanation of the S-ERP framework is provided in Section 5. Figure 1 illustrates the general idea of the S-ERP master plan.
