Measuring sustainabilityQuotients approach Subjective approach
amount of resource available comparedwith actual use of that resource.
Measures intentions of organisations toachieve certain goals or objectives.
Similar concept to TBL method ofaccounting, as it provides a quantifiablemethod of checking social andenvironmental footprints.
Lack of quantification means that‘progress’ can be made towards theintention, although difficult to determinehow much progress has been made orwhether that progress is sustainable.
For example, water usage can becompared with the amount of freshwater being generated. If usage >generation then the activity is notsustainable.
For example, the MillenniumDevelopment Goals of the UnitedNations have statements such as‘ensure environmental stability’.
Progress towards sustainability can bemeasured by comparing water usageover a period of time – the activitybecoming sustainable where usage isless than production.
‘Progress’ can be made towards this interms of reducing carbon emissions.However, the exact reduction will beunclear while reduction may have othernegative impacts (e.g. increase resourceuse in other areas).

Social and Environmental reporting
Except in some highly regulated situations (such aswater), the production of a social and environmentalreport is voluntary
The problem – what should be the typical contents ofsuch a report and how do we measure it.
Frameworks do exist, such as the data gathering toolsand the ISO14000 collection of standards, butessentially there is no underpinning compulsion to anyof it.
