Data relevant to each of the indicators is collected and analyzed, and a value is then assigned to each indicator which is based on the collected data. The indicator values are then converted to indicator scores which may be either qualitative or quantitative, in order to determine to overall impact ofthe activity on sustainability. The analysis can be repeated over time to determine the overall impact of the activity on sustainability, and the results can be aggregated to monitor an organization's progress toward sustainability.
