We have contributed in Work Package 5: Sustainability Assessment Guidelines.
Work Package leader: María Jesús Muñoz Torres, Jaume I University
WP5 has produced a science-based framework for analysing the extent to which companies are operating sustainably. This Guide presents a logical framework to assess sustainability, integrating different well-known tools and processes, as well as others created specifically for this Framework.
WP5 designed this Guide as a manual of processes and tools for analysing environmental, social, economic and governance factors, in order to operationalize the assessment of the sustainable management of an organization within a life cycle perspective. WP5 structured the Guide in two parts. In the first part, WP5 presented the fundamentals that were used as a basis for the definition of the Sustainability Assessment Framework. In a second part, WP5 developed the Framework in detail. For that end, WP5 defined three processes (traceability, assurance and continuous improvement) that operationalize the framework and second, WP5 deepened in the three steps that conduct an analysis of the organization and the different tools proposed to assess sustainability. This work is presented in the D5.4 report.
WP5 also tested the suitability of this Sustainability Assessment Framework based on two case studies belonging to two sectors, the textile and mobile phone sectors. In each of the two sectors, WP5 considered three scenarios designing global supply chains with companies operating in a broad range of countries and applying different end of life strategies (see report D5.6).
