Measure to progress: the importance of evaluating business sustainability 

Business progress goes beyond economic aspects; It also involves social and cultural factors. In this sense, sustainability is understood as a fundamental pillar that encompasses these three factors. 

Currently, society is moving towards a more responsible consumption model that is conscious of the planet. For companies, it is not enough to implement sustainable practices; It is key to measure its effectiveness and performance to contribute a valuable contribution to the environment. 

Where to start measuring your organization’s sustainable practices? 

  1. Perform an analysis 

The first step is to carry out an analysis and establish the company’s current practices , in addition to an in-depth evaluation of consumption, resource use and the current environmental footprint to establish new objectives and areas of improvement from these.  

  1. Measure progress on goals 

Once these key sustainability objectives have been implemented, it is necessary to evaluate their progress and results. To do this, it is vital to establish the KPIs that the company considers appropriate to constantly monitor sustainability  performance .

KPIs such as energy efficiency, wastewater treatment or carbon footprint are fundamental to understanding the organization’s impact on progress towards climate and environmental change.
