Environmental performance measurement in business: current practice and future trends

M. Bennett, P. James

International Journal of Business Performance Management, 2000, vol. 2, issue 1/2/3, 109-123

Abstract: Business's impacts on the natural environment have become an increasingly topical issue, with significant implications for commercial success. Companies are developing methods of performance measurement in this area to support both their internal management and, for some companies, voluntary reporting of environmental performance to external stakeholders. This paper reports some of the results of two recently concluded empirical research projects in the field, one focusing on internal company practices and opinions, and the other on external stakeholders' use of data. It draws conclusions from this and discusses the implications of developments in this relatively new area for performance measurement more widely.
