“…• Practicality: One of the approaches [5] is practical to implement; • Company specificity: Both methods consider company specifics; • (Potential) Comprehensiveness: One method [62] is not comprehensive, while one [5] may potentially be comprehensive, though in the example given in the study, a KPI for social aspects of sustainability is introduced and then ignored; • Stability: Both methods do not address the issue of potentially inaccurate or incomplete data.…”

“…• Identification of KPIs: In one publication [62], the KPIs are introduced without a selection step. There is a selection step in the other publication [5], but the selection does not follow a systematic approach. • Assessment of interactions: Interactions are not discussed in either of the publications.…”

Companies are increasingly focusing on sustainable business practices. Internal and external stakeholders’ expectations manifest in legal requirements, national and international standards, and market and customer expectations, among other things, must be considered. In addition to profit maximization, which is the usual target for corporate management, management must consider environmental sustainability aspects such as resource efficiency, greenhouse gas intensity, and a company’s emissions behavior. In addition, social aspects related to the company’s employees, the immediate urban environment, the situation in the supply chain, and effects on the market environment must increasingly be considered. Specifically, companies are faced with the challenge of dealing with conflicting objectives regarding the various aspects of sustainability and, if necessary, weighing them up against each other. These trade-offs must be made against the company’s socio-economic and ecological environment, corporate strategy, and sustainability goals. This paper provides an overview of current approaches and research gaps on this topic through a literature review. It highlights the lack of methods and frameworks to specifically deal with trade-offs and conflicts between goals.
