Based on Rigorous Methodology
ValuuCompass is based on a culmination of over a decade of intensive, multidisciplinary research conducted at the Value Research Center (VRC) in Kyoto, Japan. The team of researchers has drawn insights from a wide range of fields to create a rigorous, evidence-based framework for measuring and creating sustainable value.
This includes an extensive analysis of over 1,000 impact measurements across more than 40 of the world's top ESG and sustainability reporting frameworks. Through this process, we identified 81 core sustainability goals, organized into 27 themes and 7 stakeholder categories.
Each of these goals is operationalized through specific, measurable indicators, allowing for objective, quantitative assessment of an organization's sustainability performance. The scoring system is designed to be transparent, consistent, and comparable across industries and geographies.
