Measuring an SME’s sustainability is an essential step in adapting its activities to sustainable development principles.
To improve a company's sustainability, it is necessary to identify how the materials and components used during production influence its environmental performance. These measurements should be taken at four levels of production:
- Production factors
- Operational processes
- End product
- Tool (see esg2go)
esg2go – Rating & Reporting System
What is to have an impact, must be possible to evaluate: This also applies to sustainability. A uniform scale is needed so that SMEs in particular can benefit directly from their sustainability. The Centre for Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability CCRS, an associated institute at the School of Management Fribourg, has developed «esg2go»: A measurable and comparable sustainability rating and reporting tool for SMEs.
