Environmental and social performance measurement and reporting by
business has become a high-profile issue during the 1990s. It is
increasingly being requested by stakeholders and required by
governments. Companies too are finding that they need better
environmental and social performance data for effective internal
management. And there are a growing number of standardisation
initiatives - such as the ISO 14031 guidelines on environmental
performance evaluation or the CERES Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) template for sustainability reporting - that are aimed at
making it easier for more companies to take action, and for
stakeholders to compare their progress. Sustainable Measures
collects together most of the key work and individuals concerned
with the topic from around the world. Contributions include:
environmental and social reporting by John Elkington and colleagues
at SustainAbility; the GRI discussion draft; Roger Adams and Martin
Houldin on the FEE study of environmental reporting; Janet
Ranganathan of the World Resources Institute on sustainability
measures; and Martin Bennett and Peter James on ISO 14031 and the
future of environmental performance evaluation. There are also
chapters examining current practice in Austria, Denmark, India,
Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands and South Africa, developments in
electronic reporting, as well as case studies of Baxter, Kunert,
Niagara Mohawk, Unox, The Body Shop and the UK water industry, and
an analysis of leading social reports. The book is essential
reading for all academics, campaigners, policy-makers and
practitioners with an interest in issues such as: The
standardization and comparability of environmental and social
performance measures Measuring and reporting on sustainable
business Eco-points and other means of evaluating product impacts
The implementation of measurement and reporting Best practice in
corporate environmental and social reporting New means of
communicating environmental data Environmental performance
evaluation in developing countries
