Abstract

Sustainability measurement represents a key element if companies aim to translate sustainability from compliance with standards to core organizational asset. This paper presents the development of a structured dataset of European companies – named as Sustainability Measurement and Management (SuMM) Lab– that aims to assess company’s performance accordingly to sustainability metrics. Data have been collected on a pilot sample of 400 Italian companies and the results provide insights on how SuMM Lab could be exploited to assess the diffusion of sustainability practices in organizations.
