Abstract:
Sustainability is a fundamental issue for companies, especially for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). A key challenge for the realization of sustainability is its complexity and multidimensionality. The content of this paper is a target system in which the field of sustainability is broken down to a level that is manageable for SMEs. By means of a hierarchy of the target system, dependencies between goals are made transparent and prioritization is made possible. The target system consists of eight key objectives and sixteen accompanying targets that concretize the Triple Bottom Line. The approach enables SMEs to take sustainability-relevant aspects into account in a targeted and structured manner.
