Net value added
Methodology:
SDPI - Sustainable Development Performance Indicators
Goal:
To disclose NVA for the last five years to gauge a trend.
The difference between the revenues and the costs of bought-in materials, goods and services. Value added is the wealth the entity has been able to create and that can be distributed among different stakeholders (employees, lenders, authorities and shareholders). Net value added (NVA) consists of value added from which depreciation has been subtracted.

Percentage of local procurement
Methodology:
SDPI - Sustainable Development Performance Indicators
Goal:
To disclose the percentage of local procurement for the last five years to gauge a trend.
Percentage of local procurement is the proportion of spending of a reporting entity at local suppliers. Costs of local procurement are a general indicator of the extent of an entity’s linkages with the local economy.

Total expenditures on Research & Development (R&D)
Methodology:
SDPI - Sustainable Development Performance Indicators
Goal:
To disclose the last five years on (i) whether there has been a policy to align R&D expenditures with sustainability-related goals or performance targets; (ii) whether such targets are set, and (iii) whether these have been achieved.
All costs related to original and planned research undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding (i.e. expenditures on research activities), and which are related to the application of research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, processes, systems or services before the start of commercial production or use (i.e. expenditures on development activities).

Macro-indicator:
GHG emissions (scope 1 and 2)
Methodology:
SDPI - Sustainable Development Performance Indicators
Goal:
To gauge the degree of progress, emissions data should be disclosed for the last five years at least.
A measure of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by an organization that contributes to global warming. GHG emissions by an organization shall be no more than zero. The indicator also presents science-based interim thresholds or targets consistent with mitigation pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
