Abstract

For a presentation of activities and performance concerning a sustainable development, specific sustainability reports are generated for companies. Characteristics represent an essential part and furthermore a basis of sustainability reports. These indicators collect facts related to economy, ecology and human resources in a concentrated form.

In connection with a case study in cooperation with Volkswagen AG a concept for a system supported generation of sustainability reports is being developed. A result-oriented approach includes actual performance indicators of sustainability reporting in the concept.

The system concept is presented in form of an integrated concept, as in the case study existing source systems for basis information are connected to this module.
