Sustainability metrics and indices are measures of sustainability, using numbers to quantify environmental, social and economic aspects of the world.[1] There are multiple perspectives on how to measure sustainability as there is no universal standard.[2] Intead, different disciplines and international organizations have offered measures or indicators of how to measure the concept.
While sustainability indicators, indices and reporting systems gained growing popularity in both the public and private sectors, their effectiveness in influencing actual policy and practices often remains limited.
