Abstract

In this article, the results of an international survey on Sustainable Development (SD) as an aspect of business management are presented. 95 companies, listed in internationally known indices, are evaluated based on homepages and sustainability reports concerning their integration of ecological and social aspects as well as a super-ordinate "generic" dimension. The analysis has been made to find out specific regional trends and variations between industries on the implementation of SD aspects. Distinct regional differences could be distinguished concerning emphasis being put on the SD dimensions. Apart from regional differences also (enormous) industry-typical variations became obvious concerning SD as aspect of the management.
