The demands from the outside world that companies should take active responsibility for a sustainable society are constantly increasing. Companies are no longer responsible for just generate a good return to their shareholders but also for acting for sustainable development. EU directive with sustainability reporting that came into force in 2014 in member countries was incorporated into Swedish law on 1 December 2016, starting for the 2017 fiscal year. The sustainability report will describe how companies work with environment, human rights, social conditions, and corruption. This concerns all major companies in Sweden who for each of the last two fiscal years meet two of three criteria to have exceeded; SEK 350 million (EUR 40 million) in net sales, average employees with 250 and a total of SEK 175 million (EUR 20 million).Wastbygg is a construction and project development company that builds and develops logistics facilities, commercial real estate and housing. The company is growing steadily and currently has approximately 230 employees. Net sales amount to just over SEK 2 billion. In the coming years, the law will require sustainability accounting.The purpose of the master's thesis is to help Wästbygg carry out an interest dialogue and essentiality analysis, which is the first initial step in a sustainability report according to the international framework GRI. The result will show which sustainability issues stakeholders consider to be most prioritized and addressed by Wastbygg. This will form Wastbygg first sustainability report with the GRI framework.The stakeholder dialogue was conducted in spring 2017 through web-based surveys, personal interviews, and dialogue with prospective building engineer students. In the material analysis it was unanimous that stakeholders felt that the social aspect of health and work environment should be the highest priority issue for Wästbygg. Already today, the issue is a priority as Wästbygg is ISO-certified according to the OHSAS 18001 standard. Other sustainability issues that stakeholders consider should be prioritized by Wastbygg ecological aspects such as phasing out of environmentally and health hazardous building materials and energy-efficient buildings and construction sites as well as the social aspect ethics and anti-corruption. / Kraven från omvärlden om att företag ska ta ett aktivt ansvar för ett hållbart samhälle ökar hela tiden. Företagen ansvarar inte längre bara för att generera en god avkastning till sina aktieägare utan också för att agera för en hållbar utveckling.EU-direktivet som kom 2014 med krav på hållbarhetsredovisning i medlemsländerna införlivades i svensk lag den 1 december 2016 med start för räkenskapsåret 2017. Hållbarhetsredovisningen ska redogöra för hur företag arbetar med miljö, mänskliga rättigheter, sociala förhållanden och motverkande av korruption. Detta berör alla större företag i Sverige som för vart och ett av de två senaste räkenskapsåren uppfyller två av tre kriterier att ha överstigit; 350 miljoner kronor (40 miljoner Euro) i nettoomsättning, medeltalet anställda med 250 och en balansomslutning på 175 miljoner kronor (20 miljoner Euro).Wästbygg är ett entreprenad- och projektutvecklingsbolag som bygger och utvecklar logistikanläggningar, kommersiella fastigheter och bostäder. Företaget växer stadigt och har idag cirka 230 anställda. Nettoomsättningen uppnår till drygt 2 miljarder kronor. Inom de närmaste åren kommer man enligt lagen att behöva hållbarhetsredovisa.Syftet med magisteruppsatsen är att hjälpa Wästbygg att genomföra en intressentdialog och väsentlighetsanalys som är det inledande steget i en hållbarhetsredovisning enligt det internationella ramverket GRI. Resultatet ska visa på vilka hållbarhetsfrågor som intressenterna anser ska högst prioriteras och adresseras av Wästbygg. Detta kommer ligga till grund för Wästbyggs första hållbarhetsredovisning med ramverket GRI.Intressentdialogen genomfördes under våren 2017 genom webbaserad enkät, personliga intervjuer och dialog med blivande byggingenjörsstudenter.I väsentlighetsanalysen framkom det enhälligt att intressenterna anser att sociala aspekten hälsa och arbetsmiljö bör vara den högst prioriterade frågan för Wästbygg. Redan idag är frågan prioriterad då Wästbygg är ISO-certifierade enligt standarden för arbetsmiljö: OHSAS 18001.Andra hållbarhetsfrågor som intressenterna anser bör prioriteras av Wästbygg är de ekologiska aspekterna utfasning av miljö- och hälsofarliga byggnadsmaterial och energieffektiva byggnader och byggarbetsplatser samt sociala aspekten etik och antikorruption.

Till följd av en växande medvetenhet om vikten av att agera hållbart, har det allmänna intresset för hållbarhet ökat över tid. Som en effekt av detta har företag drivits till att redovisa sitt arbete med hållbarhetsfrågor och sin påverkan på samhället, denna information sammanställs i så kallade hållbarhetsrapporter. Under år 2016 ändrades årsredovisningslagen (SFS 1995:1554) och kompletterandes med obligatorisk hållbarhetsrapportering för större företag (SFS 2016:947). Syftet med lagen var att ställa tydliga krav på vad en hållbarhetsrapport ska innehålla, vilket kan bidra till att innehållets variation minskar. Denna uppsats tar avstamp i ämnet hållbarhets-rapportering och berör den möjliga homogenitet som kan identifieras i bolags hållbar-hetsrapporter mellan åren 2008. 2015 och 2019. Företagen som uppsatsen utgår ifrån är SCA, Holmen och Sveaskog, vilka alla verkar inom den svenska skogsindustrin. Branschen har en betydande roll för Sveriges ekonomi och industrin har historiskt sett och än idag har en stor miljöpåverkan. Problemet angreps med hjälp av innehållsanalysen, vilken är en form av dokumentanalys som i det här sammanhanget hör till den kvalitativa metodologin. Vid analysen tillämpades teoretiska ramverk i form av legitimitetsskapande och institutionell teori för att stödja tolkningarna. Även ram- och regelverk, samt tidigare forskning inom ämne användes under analysprocessen. Granskningen av hållbarhetsrapporterna är avgränsat till avsnitten om miljömässigt-, socialt- och ekonomiskt ansvar, samt en mer övergripande bild över rapporterna. De teman som speciellt tagits i beaktning samman-ställdes i ett kodningsschema som går att finna i empirikapitlet. Slutsatserna som undersökningen mynnade ut i visar sig vara att företagen i stor utsträckning tycks ta efter varandras sätt att formge hållbarhetsrapporter. Den homogenitet som identifierats utifrån de kategorier som har behandlats i denna uppsats är att företagen över tid valt att sammanfoga sina rapporter, samt att samtliga företag övergått till att applicera GRI standarderna på Core nivå. Hållbarhetsrapporterna har även successivt gått från att vara mer självkritiska, till att bli mindre självkritiska. Vad som också är gemensamt för de olika företagens rapporter är att liknande aktuella samhällsämnen beskrivs, vilket kan förklaras genom företagens syn på legitimitet. / As a result of a growing awareness of the importance of acting sustainably, the general interest in sustainability has increased over time. As an effect of this, companies have been driven to report their work on sustainability issues and its impact on society, this information is compiled in so-called sustainability reports. During 2016, the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995: 1554) was amended and supplemented with mandatory sustainability reporting for larger companies (SFS 2016: 947). The purpose of the law was to set clear requirements for what a sustainability report must contain, which can contribute to reducing the variation in the content. This essay is based on the subject of sustainability reporting and possible homogeneity in different companies’ sustainability reports. The companies used as examples are SCA, Holmen and Sveaskog, all of which operate in the Swedish forest industry. The industry can be considered suitable as the forest industry has a significant role for Sweden's economy, at the same time as the industry has historically and even today has a major environmental impact. The problem is tackled with the help of the content analysis, which is a form of document analysis that, in this context, belongs to the qualitative methodology. During the analysis, theoretical frameworks were applied in the form of legitimacy creation and institutional theory to support the interpretations. Frameworks and regulations, as well as previous research in the subject, were also of great importance during the analysis process. The review of the sustainability reports is limited to the sections on environ-mental, social, and economic responsibility, as well as a more comprehensive picture of the reports. The themes that were especially considered were compiled in a coding scheme that can be found at the end of the essay in the form of an appendix. The conclusions that the survey led turned out to be that the companies to a certain extent seem to follow each other's ways of shaping sustainability reports. The homogeneity identified on the basis of the categories addressed in this thesis are that over time, companies have chosen to merge their reports, and that all companies move to applying the GRI standards at Core level. The sustainability reports have also gradually gone from being more self-critical, to becoming less self-critical. What is also common to the various companies 'reports is that similar current social topics are described, which can be explained by the companies' views on legitimacy.

Purpose: This paper investigates how sustainability reporting differs between state-owned enterprises and if there is a difference given the quality in the information within state-owned ownership. Theory: Begins with the reporting legislation and Global Reporting Initiative. Thereafter previous research is presented with sustainability reporting to define the quality concept. The theory ends with institutional logic. Method: This paper uses a qualitative method as the research design. The paper has used an assessment sheet composed by previous researchers. Empirics: Firstly the formulation of the sustainability reports for the companies are presented. Thereafter the reports relevance and reliability are revealed. Conclusions: In this report there is no difference of quality in the sustainability report within stateowned enterprises and partial state-owned enterprises. However, this study finds one other factor that has an impact between the enterprises. / Syfte: Studien undersöker hur hållbarhetsredovisningen skiljer sig åt mellan statligt ägda företag och om det är skillnad i informationens kvalitet utifrån den statliga ägarandelen. Teori: Börjar med lagstiftningen och Global Reporting Initiative därefter presenteras tidigare forskning inom hållbarhetsredovisning för att sedan definiera kvalitetsbegreppet. Teoriavsnittet avslutas med institutionell logik. Metod: Denna studie använder sig av en kvalitativ metod där forskningsstrategin består av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Studien har vidare använt sig av ett bedömningsschema som är framtaget av tidigare forskare. Empiri: I empirin presenteras först utformningen av hållbarhetsredovisningarna för de undersökta företagen för att sedan presentera resultatet av rapporternas relevans och trovärdighet. Slutsatser: Kvaliteten på hållbarhetsredovisningen inom statligt ägda företag är lika varandra och det framkommer inte någon större skillnad mellan helt och delvis statligt ägda företag. Däremot finner studien att det finns en annan faktor som påverkar skillnader mellan statligt ägda företag.

Klimatförändringar, globaliseringen och företagsskandaler har medfört att CSR fått en ökad uppmärksamhet på senare tid, något som ökat kraven på transparens i företagens rapportering. Samtidigt är CSR ett föränderligt koncept som skiljer sig mellan nationer, vilket gett upphov till varierande resultat i studier som undersökt begreppet i relation till informationsdelgivning. Den här studien har därmed undersökt hur CSR-delgivning påverkas av företagsspecifika variabler (ålder, storlek, lönsamhet och kvinnor i styrelsen) hos företag i Sverige. Utöver detta använde studien företagets verksamhetsområde som interaktionsvariabel för att undersöka hur branschens miljökänslighet påverkar företagens sociala och miljömässiga rapportering. Grundat på GRI-ramverk, tillämpades en innehållsanalys för att undersöka årsredovisningar hos 268 företag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen. Genom en multipel regressionsanalys fann studien att företag rapporterade i högre utsträckning om CSR när verksamheten ökade i storlek. Resultaten visade även att organisationerna ökade sin miljörelaterade CSR-delgivning med åldern. Däremot kunde studien inte påvisa ett samband mellan CSR-delgivning och lönsamhet eller andel kvinnor i styrelsen. Studien kunde inte heller påvisa att branschen hade en interaktionseffekt på CSR-rapporteringen i relation till de företagsspecifika variablerna. Slutligen, indikerar resultaten att börsnoterade företag i Sverige rapporterar om CSR-aktiviteter som ett svar på samhällets påtryckningar snarare än ett engagemang som har sin utgångspunkt i företagets kultur och värdegrund. / Climate change, globalization and corporate scandals have led to CSR receiving increased attention in recent times, which has increased the demand for transparency in companies' reporting. CSR is a changing concept that differs between nations. Studies previously examining social and environmental disclosure have therefore shown varying results. Thus, this study has examined how CSR disclosure is affected by firm-specific characteristics (age, size, profitability, and female directors) in Swedish companies. In addition, the study examined how the industry's environmental sensitivity affects companies' social and environmental reporting in relation to the determinants. The study was conducted and written in Swedish. Based on the GRI framework, a content analysis was applied to examine the annual reports of 268 companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Through a regression analysis, this study found that the companies reported to a greater extent on CSR when the business increased in size. The results also showed that organizations increased their environmental CSR disclosure with age. On the other hand, the study could not show a relationship between CSR disclosure and profitability or female directors. Nor could the study show that the industry had an interaction effect on CSR reporting in relation to the firm-specific characteristics. Finally, the results indicate that listed companies in Sweden disclose information related to CSR activities as a response to society's pressures rather than a commitment that is based on the company's culture and values.

Background: Disclosure of sustainability within companies is voluntary and previous research shows that there are differences in disclosure within CSR reports that can be affected by various factors. GRI is the most used framework in the preparation of CSR reports. Although some countries use the same GRI framework, previous studies have shown that different countries' enlightenment levels as well as enlightenment information differ in sustainability.  Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the information in sustainability reporting within the “Industrial Industry” in Sweden and the USA. Moreover, the purpose is to make a comparison of how companies choose to report information and based on which aspects. Furthermore, the study will examine and compare the difference between the companies after their sustainability reports were prepared according to the latest GRI framework in both countries for the years 2018 and 2020. Method: The study performs a quantitative content analysis with a deductive approach to compare disclosure of sustainability information from Sweden and the USA for the years 2018 and 2020. The study examines 6 companies from each country and this resulted in 24 observations. The study's conclusions and results are presented using a t-test as well as descriptive statistics. Conclusion: The study could not determine if there are significant differences in the disclosure of sustainability reporting between the United States and Sweden for the years 2018 and 2020. The reason for this may be due to contradictions between results obtained by the study based on t-tests and descriptive statistics.

Titel: Implementering av GRI-standarder och riktlinjer: Fördelar och Utmaningar i Hållbarhetsredovisningen. Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi. Författare: Sofia Ivarsson och Sofie Skalberg. Handledare: Jean Claude Mutiganda. Datum: 2024 - januari. Syfte: Skandinavien intar en framstående position i världen när det gäller att redovisa hållbarhet. Flertalet företag i Sverige har börjat implementera GRI som ett verktyg för att förstärka hållbarhetsredovisningen och förbättra kommunikationen med intressenterna. Studien avser att undersöka fördelar och utmaningar som svenska statliga företag upplever vid implementeringen och användningen av GRI-riktlinjerna i hållbarhetsredovisningen. Metod: I denna studie har en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv forskningsansats tillämpats, som innefattar empirisk datainsamling från sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med svenska statliga bolag i olika branscher. Efter kodning och tematisering av det empiriska materialet har resultatet sedan analyserats och tolkats mot tidigare forskning. Resultat och analys samt slutsats: Trots frånvaron av exakt lagstiftning väljer företagofta att anpassa sig till externa riktlinjer såsom GRI. GRI-ramverket ökar transparensen och förbättrar företagens trovärdighet och legitimitet. Däremot inkluderar utmaningarna resurskrävande rapportering och risk för att fokusera för mycket på kriterier i stället för på verkliga förbättringar, vilket kräver anpassning för att möta företagens specifika behov inför CSRD. Studiens bidrag: Studien bidrar till att redogöra för hur företag upplevt implementeringen och användningen av GRI som ramverk. Dessutom ger studien konkreta slutsatser och rekommendationer baserat på erfarenheter och insikter som företagen erhållit genom användningen av GRI i hållbarhetsredovisningen. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: För att få en bredare förståelse av GRI hade det varit intressant att undersöka andra företag, som inte är statliga och verksamma i Sverige. Det hade även varit intressant att undersöka de fördelar och utmaningar företag upplever med CSRD. / Title: Implementation of GRI Standards and Guidelines: Benefits and Challenges in Sustainability Reporting. Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration. Author: Sofia Ivarsson and Sofie Skalberg. Supervisor: Jean Claude Mutiganda. Date: 2024 - january. Aim: Scandinavia occupies a prominent position globally in sustainability reporting. Many companies in Sweden have started to implement GRI as a tool to strengthen their sustainability reporting and improve communication with their stakeholders. The study aims to examine benefits and challenges that Swedish state-owned companies experience when implementing and using the GRI guidelines in sustainability reporting. Method: In this study, a qualitative method with an inductive research approach has been applied, which includes empirical data collection from seven semi-structured interviews with Swedish state-owned companies in various industries. After coding and thematizing the empirical material, the results have been analyzed and interpreted against previous research. Results and analysis and conclusion: Despite the absence of precise legislation, companies often choose to adapt to external guidelines such as GRI. The GRI framework increases transparency, improves companies' credibility and legitimacy. However, challenges include resource-intensive reporting and the risk of focusing too much on criteria instead of real improvements, requiring adaptation to meet the specific needs of companies ahead of CSRD. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to an account of how companies experienced the implementation and use of GRI as a framework. In addition, the study provides concrete conclusions and recommendations based on the experiences and insights that companies have gained through the use of GRI in sustainability reporting. Suggestions for future research: In order to gain a broader understanding of GRI, it would have been interesting to explore other companies, beyond state-owned and active companies in Sweden. It would also have been interesting to examine the benefits and challenges companies experience with CSRD.

This study analyzed the integrated reports, also identified as an annual report or sustainability report, published by companies with the objective of verifying adherence to the GRI guidelines and presented a summary with the pillars of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. The database initially considered 34 companies, which are listed in B3's Business Sustainability Index (ISE). Of these, 18 companies were analyzed, considering those that published their reports in the period of 5 years (2012 to 2016). The scope of the analysis was based on the report released in 2016 and it was concluded that 14 companies declare that they comply with the GRI guidelines, which represents 41% of the total sample and 78% of the total companies that were analyzed. This was evidenced by the positive opinion of the Limited Assurance Report issued by independent bodies / A transparência e o comprometimento das organizações em relação à divulgação de seus resultados, econômicos, sociais e ambientais, são cada vez mais importantes para atender às necessidades dos stakeholders. Este estudo analisou os relatos integrados, também identificados como relatório anual ou relatório de sustentabilidade, divulgados pelas empresas com o objetivo de verificar se os Relatos Integrados estão de acordo com às diretrizes GRI, apresentou um resumo com os pilares da sustentabilidade: econômica, social e ambiental e identificou a aderência ao tipo de divulgação, Relato ou Relatório. A base de dados levou em conta inicialmente 34 empresas, as quais estão listadas no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da B3. Dentre estas, 18 empresas foram analisadas, considerando aquelas que divulgaram seus relatórios no período de 5 anos (2012 a 2016). O escopo da análise foi com base no relatório divulgado em 2016 e concluiu-se que 14 empresas declararam que estão de acordo com as diretrizes GRI, o que representa 41% do total da amostra e 78% do total de empresas que foram analisadas. Isto foi constatado pelo parecer positivo do Relatório de Asseguração Limitada emitido por órgãos independentes e identificou o tipo de publicação, Relatório ou Relato descrevendo as características de cada um

<p>The history of environmental reporting began in the early 1990’s when some companies included the environmental issue in their annual report. The increased interest of ethical and sustainable investments and demands from different stakeholders conjure a change of the report design. To develop the environmental reports and create design guidance for sustainability reports an organisation called Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was born. The GRI is environmental reporting taken to another level, a level that is according to sustainable development. This qualitative study concerns sustainability reporting in general and the GRI-guidelines in particular. The question is why the Swedish companies, which are already using the guidelines, have chosen to use the guidelines and what type of behavioral changes within the company it has lead to? From my study, I have found that the GRI-report could help corporations to be able to see what actually has been done in the organisation. My conclusion is that the GRI-guideline is a potential tool for gaining control and visibility of the triple bottom line on a corporate level, and it highlights the importance of collecting internal information.</p>

More and more companies and organizations around the world are aiming towards a sustainable path for their businesses. Pressure from stakeholders and society pushes companies to report on their sustainability performance; however, companies are also seeing the opportunities which arise with these reports and especially large companies are embracing the sustainable path according to prior studies. With an increasing number of sustainability reports produced around the world, the need for measuring the performance indicators within these reports is increasing.With the expansion of sustainability reports among companies, the use of the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) Guidelines becomes a popular framework for companies to adopt. GRI is widely used around the world, as their comprehensive framework includes many performance indicators for companies to report on.It has also been proved that the use of sustainability reports and the number of indicators disclosed in these reports are depending on several criteria among which the size of the company, its sector of activity, and its nationality.As master students studying in Sweden, we considered it would be interesting to know more about the sustainability reporting inside the country we are studying in. Large-size companies tend to disclose use more sustainability reporting and to disclose more information. Some sectors as the industrial sector are in need of sustainability reporting. As no prior studies were found in our search for showing which GRI indicators companies of the industrial sector preferably report on, we decided to embrace the challenge and fill the research gap by conducting a research of large Swedish companies within the industrial sector.This thesis adopted a quantitative approach. We collected data from 30 large Swedish companies within the industrial sector. We also conducted five hypotheses for our analysis in order to make conclusions on our work, and our main findings show that among the Swedish large-size companies belonging to the industrial sector, the largest report more on sustainability using the GRI. Besides, among the large companies which disclose on the GRI the largest disclose on more indicators than the smallest. Finally, we succeeded in identifying indicators of the GRI which are largely and poorly disclosed by the Swedish large-size companies belonging to the industrial sector.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral propor um método monetário de avaliação da sustentabilidade empresarial que contemple as dimensões econômica, ambiental e social. Para tanto, se propõe a: (i) estudar de forma exploratória o tema avaliação da sustentabilidade a fim de proporcionar uma maior familiarização com o mesmo e identificar suas lacunas; (ii) identificar a estrutura de avaliação da sustentabilidade a ser utilizada como base; (iii) monetizar os itens de avaliação da sustentabilidade empresarial; (iv) avaliar e aprimorar o método desenvolvido através da análise de especialistas e da aplicação do mesmo na realidade de uma empresa. O método proposto permite a avaliação da sustentabilidade empresarial em uma unidade de medida comumente utilizada pelas empresas, simples e compreensível, a unidade monetária, que possibilita a comparação direta em bases homogêneas. Além disso, a unidade monetária é muito importante para as empresas, visto que seu objetivo é gerar retorno financeiro. A avaliação global do desempenho da empresa é dada pelo soma dos custos ambientais e sociais e dos benefícios econômicos gerados. Quando o resultado for negativo, significa que os custos causados pela empresa são maiores que os benefícios e, portanto, a operação da mesma não traz vantagens para a sociedade, sendo recomendado que reverta essa situação ou pare de operar. Por outro lado, quando os benefícios forem maiores que os custos, a operação da empresa agrega valor para a sociedade. Entretanto, ressalta-se que a empresa deve sempre focar em minimizar custos ambientais e sociais. Assim, o método proposto contribui para orientar as empresas na busca de formas de atuação socialmente e ambientalmente benéficas, uma vez que orienta a diminuição dos custos relacionados a essas dimensões. O método demonstra como monetizar os itens de avaliação, a partir de dados da empresa e estimativas. Entende-se que o desafio de desenvolver um método com esta finalidade é grande, devido à complexidade das dimensões social, ambiental e econômica. Consequentemente, este trabalho apresenta uma estrutura completa de avaliação monetária da sustentabilidade empresarial, mas que deve ser considerada preliminar, aberta a complementações e aprimoramentos. / This study's main objective is to propose a corporate sustainability assessment monetary model that addresses the economic, environmental and social dimensions. For this, the thesis intends: (i) to study the sustainability assessment and identify gaps, (ii) to identify a framework for sustainability assessment to be used as a basis, (iii) to monetize the assessment items, (iv) to evaluate and improve the method through expert analysis and field application. The proposed model allows the corporate sustainability assessment in a unit of measure commonly used by companies, simple and understandable, the monetary unit, which allows direct comparison on homogeneous bases. Moreover, the monetary unit is very important for companies, since their goal is to generate financial return. The overall company assessment performance is given by the sum of the environmental and social costs and economic benefits. When the result is negative, it means that the costs incurred by the company are greater than the benefits, so the operation does not bring benefits to society and is recommended to reverse this situation or stop trading. On the other hand, when the benefits outweigh the costs, the operation of the company adds value to society. However, it is emphasized that the company should always focus on minimizing environmental and social costs. Thus, the model helps to guide companies on ways of acting socially and environmentally beneficial, since it guides the cost decrease in these dimensions. The model demonstrates how to monetize the assessment items from the enterprise data and estimates. It is understood that the challenge of developing a model for this purpose is large due to the complexity of social, environmental and economic issues. Consequently, this paper presents a complete corporate sustainability monetary assessment that should be considered a preliminary attempt, open to additions and improvements.
