Abstract

The most advanced organizations recognize that a multidimensional perspective is necessary to integrate stakeholder needs into a long term value creation process; only in a few cases are performance measurement systems able to integrate traditional measures with social and environmental indicators. To quantify sustainability, and to understand the factors that contribute to it, we propose a performance measurement system based on a set of indicators that are structured in two levels: primary and secondary measures.

These measures are further organized using two managerial instruments, showing the horizontal (DartBoard) and vertical (Clover) relationships among them.

Keywords: sustainability management, performance measurement system, stakeholder approach, sustainable development performance

JEL Classification: M41
