Audencia / UNGC indicators database
The Chair has created a database of around 5,000 sustainable development indicators drawn up by national and international organizations, in conjunction with the UN Global Compact and EFRAG. The latest update was in October 2020.
These indicators deal with numerous themes covering the three capitals of economic, social and natural. They have been qualified according to their scope, theme and the leverage point concerned.
The database has been used to draw up new European standards on non-financial information to be published by companies. This is part of the Chair's contribution to the national, European and international standardization of multi-capital accounting. It is currently no longer updated.
