Assignment 1: Discussion—Sustainability Performance Measures


Strategic sustainability planning covers purposes and benefits, SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis for strategic sustainability planning, tactical plans, goals and indicators for goal achievement, and setting metrics and indicators to goals. In strategic sustainability planning, it is important to address issues of goal clarity and reasons for failure to deliver performance.


In this assignment, you will examine reasons for measuring sustainability performance and achieving goals. In addition, you will define sustainability goals, targets, indicators, and metrics using performance indices such as Global Environmental Management Initiative’s (GEMI) metrics for tracking performance.
