Abstract

This paper investigates how corporate sustainable practices can be supported by information management models and information and communication technology (ICT) applications. The empirical work is based on a single case study, a Brazilian company that is applying the concept of a sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC) to put forward a triple bottom-line strategy. Our results suggest that (a) implementation and use of the SBSC, (b) integration of the triple-bottom line concept within the SBSC, and (c) the place occupied by the eco-efficiency indicator at the heart of the strategic map represented three key factors that helped to enhance sustainability management. Moreover, the development of a sustainability-oriented culture and the strong business intelligence (BI) platform put in place enabled successful implementation of the SBSC in this particular company.
