The essential guide "Sustainability Compact" begins with various definitions of sustainability, explores different approaches to evaluating the sustainability of companies and their products, presents common sustainability indicators, and concludes with the current state of sustainability reporting. On the path toward comparability of corporate sustainability performance, monetary and CO²-based evaluation methods are introduced, along with measurable sustainability based on energy consumption and entropy analysis.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
