Corporate sustainability reporting has become increasingly important in recent years. However, conventional approaches reach their limits when it comes to quantifying and measuring the actual sustainability performance of a company. This article presents a new approach: Sustainable Performance Accounting (SPA), which is based on an extension of bookkeeping by including ESG bookkeeping. SPA enables companies to systematically measure and manage their sustainability performance. The article provides an overview of the basics of SPA methodology and uses a comprehensive example showing how SPA can be implemented in practice. The article is aimed at interested readers from science and practice as well as decision-makers who are interested in future-oriented sustainability reporting.
