Outperformance with Sustainable Development Key Performance Indicators (SD-KPIs)

SD-KPIs are the three most important sustainability indicators for business development, position and anticipated development of an industry group. SD-KPIs offer institutional investors the opportunity to generate portfolios with a high long-term outperformance. This was evaluated by leading European pension funds with € 460 billions of assets under management in 2008.
1) How has the copyrighted concept of SD-KPIs been constructed from 2004 until now?
2) How can companies fulfill their duty to disclose SD-KPIs in annual/management reports, which is demanded by the European Union Accounts Modernisation Directive.
3) What are Best Practice examples?
4) How can asset owners and asset managers integrate SD-KPIs in investment mandates and products?

Happy Planet Organisations - Organisations for a High Well-being, Low Carbon World

The Happy Planet Index (HPI) was launched in 2006 and awarded the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies' Award for the Betterment of the Human condition 2007. The presentation outlines the vision of the HPI:

1) How do organisations create heuristics to move towards the co-creation of a high well-being low carbon world?

2) Can these heuristics be made internally consistent so that their stakeholders' well-being is enhanced and their carbon footprints reduced?

3) Can CSR and TBL accounting be supplemented further by using well-being audit tools to form the basis of new feedback loops that provide timely data on their employees well-being?
