Environment
issues
The environmental dimension of sustainability concerns an organisation's impact on living and non-living natural systems, including ecosystems, land, air, and water. Environmental indicators
cover performance related to inputs (e.g., material, energy, water) and outputs (e.g., emissions, effluents, waste). In addition, they cover performance related to biodiversity, environmental compliance, and other relevant information such as environmental expenditure and the impacts of products and services.
