| Abstract: | This article presents a new approach for measuring corporate contributions to sustainability: Sustainable Value Added (hereafter as: SVA). SVA measures whether a company creates extra value when the overall level of environmental and social impacts is kept constant. SVA is based on opportunity costs and takes into account both, the corporate eco- and social efficiency and the absolute effectiveness of resource use. |
