Sustainability Performance Indicators

The challenge many companies face is to condense large amounts of environmental, economic and social information into a limited number of key indicators.

Select the right information

Sustainability performance indicators (SPIs) are used as a tool to measure a company’s performance and to monitor and report on future progress. SPIs can be grouped in three areas covering either the economic, environmental or social aspects of sustainability.
 

• Economic performance indicators: company turnover, profit, quantity of products sold, etc.
• Social performance indicators: labor practices, human rights, and broader issues affecting consumers, community, and other stakeholders in society.
• Environmental performance indicators: greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, waste output, etc.

A number of current initiatives recommends sets of broadly similar but not identical indicators. For more information regarding reporting guidelines see the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), CSR Europe, etc.
