Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a literature review on models for assessing corporate sustainability. The review encompasses 68 papers that were published in indexed peer-reviewed journals from 1990 to 2019, which were available on Web of ScienceTM in May 2020. The goal of this study is to evaluate how corporate sustainability is being evaluated in different sectors. We concluded that there is still no consensus among researchers from different areas regarding what corporate sustainability means and different indicators have been used to assess it. The biggest problem is that in various cases the sustainability tripod is not considered. Our study recommends a set of relevant indicators to be adopted for assessing corporate sustainability considering a four-dimensional perspective. The recommendation is based on the number of times these indicators were applied in the reviewed models, and it can be useful for different types of organisations and/or sectors. For future work, we suggest improving this review to include other databases and consequently other relevant publications, to analyse the operators used to aggregate the uni-dimensional information, and then to propose a general four-dimensional index for corporate sustainability assessment, based on a non-compensatory aggregation operator, which can be applied to evaluate different types of companies.

企业可持续性评估模型的文献综述
摘要本文对企业可持续性评估模型进行了文献综述。该综述涵盖了1990年至2019年在同行评议期刊上发表的68篇论文,这些论文于2020年5月在Web of ScienceTM上发表。本研究的目的是评估企业可持续发展是如何被评估在不同的部门。我们的结论是,不同领域的研究人员仍然没有就企业可持续发展的意义达成共识,并且使用了不同的指标来评估它。最大的问题是,在各种情况下,可持续性三脚架没有被考虑。我们的研究建议采用一套相关的指标,以评估企业的可持续发展考虑四维的角度。这些建议是根据这些指标在经审查的模型中应用的次数而提出的,它可能对不同类型的组织和/或部门有用。对于未来的工作,我们建议改进这一综述,包括其他数据库和其他相关出版物,分析用于汇总单维信息的算子,然后提出一个基于非补偿性汇总算子的企业可持续性评估的一般四维指标,该指标可用于评估不同类型的公司。
