The KPI Institute’s Center for Sustainability Performance is proud to announce that we have released our secondary research paper, Sustainability Reporting – Making sense of the international frameworks!
With sustainability being a hot topic during the past few years, companies all over the world have been facing increasing pressure from all types of stakeholders to implement effective sustainability strategies
The KPI Institute’s Performance Management in 2014 report is built on the belief that a balanced approach in such research endeavours can only be achieved by triangulating the opinions of practitioners, academics and consultants alike.
