Abstract
The starting point of our procedure was the collection of preliminary information for all the different types of existing approaches to sustainability measurement at different aggregation levels, ranging from multicountry to corporate and miscellaneous approaches. In our core procedure, however, we eventually focued on country-level approaches, for which cross-country comparisons are viable.

Within this set of measurement systems, there were two with a regional focus, but measured across different countries. For this reason, we decided to include them in our sample.

Especially, the corporate-level sustainability measurement is of an utmost interest to scientific and practitioner’s community. However, their consideration within the paper goes beyond its scope. A review of these approaches is, however, by no means less compelling and should be regarded as an interesting avenue for future research.
