A framework for measuring environment performanceA simple four stage framework is explained and used to set performance measurement and reporting in the wider business context. The framework can be broadly aligned to the typical stages of company business management, covering strategic review, planning, control and measurement of core processes, and public reporting of business performance.
Checklists and tools are included to help companies establish the current state of environmental performance measurement processes and to help identify and prioritise actions for improvement. A final section pulls together some key considerations relating to future trends and challenges.
