“…Kemmler and Spreng (2007) illustrated this point by arguing that future generations, with greater knowledge and sophisticated technology and different needs, will define sustainable development in their own way and with a different set of development goals. In addition, Meadows (1998) recognizes sustainable development as depended on a society's worldviews and values.…”

“…Consequently, without having any aggregation, a set of indicators is difficult to interpret, cannot present a concise general overview of system behaviour, and is not valuable for decision-making purposes (Kemmler & Spreng, 2007). To handle this problem, some sustainability assessment tools had been calculated the combined effect by selecting a small set of a few lead indicators and combine them in the form of a general index of sustainability (Afgan, Pilavachi, & Carvalho, 2007;Krajnc & Glavic, 2005).…”

“…To do so, many systems and tools had been adopted in the literature either at macro level (Bartelmus, 2007;Kemmler & Spreng, 2007) or micro level (MacDonald, 2005; to generate relevant information. However, the most popular accounting systems adopted by firms are the environmental management accounting (EMA) system and the full cost accounting (FCA) to provide monetary information.…”

This paper is an exploration of the sustainability accounting literature to investigate the variety of accounting measurement instruments/tools/methodologies applied to achieve business sustainability and whether there is a real practical concern and application by companies toward the revenue side of sustainability, as well as, cost side. The research present a classification of different implemented sustainable accounting tools to measure corporate environmental and social costs due to the limitation of tools that implemented to measure corporate environmental and social revenues. Therefore, the paper adopts an Australian textile case study to investigate and analysis reality in practice. The outcome of the case study indicates that the companies may use the implemented sustainable accounting tools which are commonly applied to measure cost side of sustainability to measure, as well, revenue side, although the majority of the business sustainability literature focuses mainly on the cost side and how to measure it.

“…Many authors agree that sustainability is difficult to define (Kemmler and Spreng 2007). Therefore, Smith et al (2000) inverse the approach and look at features of a system that are unsustainable, rather than searching for those that are sustainable.…”

This chapter presents an analytic framework to identify agricultural innovations that are sustainable and suitable for the poorest and most vulnerable parts of the population. The framework contains a set of tools to collect and evaluate information on appropriate innovations based on relevant criteria. It considers the dimensions of environmental resilience, economic viability, and social sustainability, as well as technical sustainability considering important properties of the innovation itself. Information on already available agricultural innovations was collected in ten countries in South and Southeast Asia, as well as from the national and international agricultural research communities. A composite sustainability indicator was constructed to compare the collected innovations and radar charts were computed to visualize their performance in each sustainability criterion.
