Clarity
Environmental Indicators
Should be

• Comparability: The indicators must allow
comparisons to be made and must reflect
changes of environmental impacts.
• TargetOrientation: The selected indicators
should pursue improvement goals that can
be influenced by the company.
• Balance: The indicators must represent the
environmental performance as accurately as
possible and provide a balanced illustration
of environmental problem areas as well as
improvement potential.
• Continuity: In orderto compare indicators, it
is essential that they are established with
the same data collection criteria in every
period, that they referto comparable

• Timelines: The indicators should be
determined in short enough intervals (e.g.
monthly, quarterly, annually) in orderto
have the opportunity of actively pursuing
and influencing the achievement of target
figures, and to avoid providing outdated
information.
• Clarity: The indicators must be clearand
comprehensible forthe userand correspond
to the user’s information requirements. The
system should therefore be coherent and
concentrate on essential data.
