ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS: A REPORTING TOOL OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS: A REPORTING TOOL OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Summary/Abstract: Companies are becoming increasingly aware about the sustainability challenges and address new policies to respond to corporate environmental responsibility. Having as model the indicators published at macroeconomic level, companies may answer the need of validating their practices designated to ensure responsible activities by identifying and reporting a set of sustainability indicators. By visualizing phenomena and highlighting trends, sustainability indicators simplify, quantify, analyse and communicate otherwise complex and complicated information. The objective of this paper is to debate on the existing environmental sustainability indicators that might be used in designing a composite environmental sustainability index as a useful tool for policy making and public communication. Fundamental research is used to outline key environmental sustainability indicators. Debates are conducted in order to establish the usefulness of possible approaches.
