Higher education institutions (HEIs) are crucial social organisations that foster innovation, disseminate knowledge, and train future leaders in various fields. Higher education institutions are essential to implementing the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plan. This review article addresses HEI’s attempts to evaluate sustainability in higher education. This study analyses the literature available on the sustainability assessment of Higher education institutions to provide a review of the practices incorporated by different HEIs around the globe. Using the Scopus Database and google scholar, 88 articles were selected for this review. The analysed literature provided information that helped compile a SATs list (Sustainability Assessment Tools). The SATs identified in these articles are categorised as qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method techniques. The utilization of these SATs in real-world case studies were also presented, and their results are highlighted. This analysis aids and contributes to current research on using these SATs and other methods for evaluating and implementing the sustainability of HEIs. This study also explains the difficulties and scope of utilising these SATs in the actual world.
