Apply ECG
The Common Good Balance Sheet is based on the Common Good Matrix. Twenty themes describe a company’s contribution to the Common Good. These tools allow sustainability and transparency standards to be compared across all sectors, all types and all sizes of businesses.
Not only companies, also municipalities and educational institutions can apply the Common Good Balance Sheet and their social impact.
Many organizations have already successfully applied the Common Good Balance Sheet. Learn more about their good practices and find them on our map.
