Abstract: Various tools have been developed to support companies integrating corporate sustainability (CS) into their organisational system. Research on the use of these tools does not clearly show how these tools support the integration process of CS. This paper focuses on the CS integration support of three tools most often mentioned in the literature. We will question the contribution each tool can make in supporting CS integration, based on six integration process elements. The analysis shows a potential complementarity between the tools. Moreover, companies should be critical on where within the organisation the interventions for CS integration are needed and what improvement should be generated before choosing tools.
