Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces ‘impACT’, an innovative sustainability management process by the German Otto Group (Otto). The process involves a tool called ‘estell’ which is a calculation model that quantifies harmful environmental and social impacts along Otto’s value chain. It then links purchasing and sales data of the Otto Group with the specific sustainability ‘burdens’ that the procured and sold goods represent. With this model, environmental matters as well as social risks can be quantified and made visible and comparable with other business topics. Furthermore, the calculations outline the principal causes of negative impact along Otto’s value chain. This helps to better understand the firm’s own actions and to bring suitable measures to become effective in the appropriate places in the future. The quantitative findings are further enhanced by placing them side by side with qualitative feedback from Otto’s stakeholders. Otto’s approach to sustainability was awarded with the CSR Prize of the German Federal Government in 2014.
