We live in an era where much importance is being given on saving our planet. Global warming is an international issue. Sustainable development is solution for all the problems. We have to work together to keep our planet clean. Each and every human being has important role of saving our planet. Another huge role is from private sector and public sector. This both sectors have huge responsibility. Both the sectors have their own activities. Activities cause environmental and social impact. There is no proper way to measure this impact. Implementation of Sustainability performance measurement system (SPMS) helps an organization to keep track of it activity and impact caused throughout its value chain. There is no precise way of measuring sustainability. Each sector has its own methodology based on its activities.

SPMS has been developed using the relevant methodology based on the value chain and activities for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP-Bengaluru City Municiality) Solid waste Management department. Data’s were acquired through face to face interview with Mrs. Sandhya Senior Health Inspector of SWM department, BBMP. Relevant questionnaires were prepared for interview addressing the environmental, social and financial perspective. Based on the data acquired SPMS was developed considering the activity of the organization. It was a difficult task to select perfect methodology to apply. Since, there is no precise way to measure sustainability. It was decided to measure the sustainability using triple bottom line method of evaluation. Triple bottom line is one of the methods to evaluate sustainability. Environmental, social and financial perspectives have been measured using relevant tools. Measuring these three perspectives gives perfect picture of impact caused by organization on environment and also on the society. Financial perspective gives a qualitative view of the financial expenditures, payments and receipts. It also focuses on the financial grants given to SWM department of BBMP.
Viviamo in un'era in cui viene data molta importanza al salvataggio del nostro pianeta. Il riscaldamento globale è un problema internazionale. Lo sviluppo sostenibile è la soluzione per tutti i problemi. Dobbiamo lavorare insieme per mantenere pulito il nostro pianeta. Ogni essere umano ha un ruolo importante nel salvare il nostro pianeta. Un altro enorme ruolo è del settore privato e del settore pubblico. Questi due settori hanno enormi responsabilità. Entrambi i settori hanno le proprie attività. Le attività causano l'impatto ambientale e sociale. Non esiste un modo corretto per misurare questo impatto. L'implementazione del sistema di misurazione della performance di sostenibilità (SPMS) aiuta un'organizzazione a tenere traccia dell'attività e dell'impatto causato lungo tutta la sua catena di valore. Non esiste un modo preciso per misurare la sostenibilità. Ogni settore ha una propria metodologia basata sulle sue attività. Il lavoro svolto in questa tesi consiste in diverse metodologie che possono essere utilizzate per misurare la sostenibilità. Questo lavoro comprende anche un rapporto empirico della città di Bengaluru. L'SPMS è stato sviluppato utilizzando la metodologia pertinente basata sulla catena del valore e le attività per il dipartimento di gestione dei rifiuti solidi di Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (Municial Bengaluru City Municiality). I dati sono stati acquisiti attraverso un'intervista faccia a faccia con la signora Sandhya Senior Health Inspector del dipartimento SWM, BBMP. Sono stati preparati questionari rilevanti per colloqui che affrontano la prospettiva ambientale, sociale e finanziaria. Sulla base dei dati acquisiti, SPMS è stato sviluppato considerando l'attività dell'organizzazione. È stato un compito difficile selezionare la metodologia perfetta da applicare. Dal momento che non esiste un modo preciso per misurare la sostenibilità. Si è deciso di misurare la sostenibilità utilizzando il metodo di valutazione a triplo fondo. Triple bottom line è uno dei metodi per valutare la sostenibilità. Le prospettive ambientali, sociali e finanziarie sono state misurate utilizzando strumenti pertinenti. Misurare queste tre prospettive dà un quadro perfetto dell'impatto causato dall'organizzazione sull'ambiente e anche sulla società. Le prospettive finanziarie forniscono una visione qualitativa delle spese finanziarie, dei pagamenti e delle entrate. Si concentra anche sulle sovvenzioni finanziarie fornite al dipartimento SWM di BBMP.

Abstract
We live in an era where much importance is being given on saving our planet. Global warming is an international issue. Sustainable development is solution for all the problems. We have to work together to keep our planet clean. Each and every human being has important role of saving our planet. Another huge role is from private sector and public sector. This both sectors have huge responsibility. Both the sectors have their own activities. Activities cause environmental and social impact. There is no proper way to measure this impact. Implementation of Sustainability performance measurement system (SPMS) helps an organization to keep track of it activity and impact caused throughout its value chain. There is no precise way of measuring sustainability. Each sector has its own methodology based on its activities. Work carried out in this thesis consists of different methodologies that can be used to measure sustainability. This work also consists of empirical report of Bengaluru city. SPMS has been developed using the relevant methodology based on the value chain and activities for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP-Bengaluru City Municiality) Solid waste Management department. Data’s were acquired through face to face interview with Mrs. Sandhya Senior Health Inspector of SWM department, BBMP.

Triple bottom line is one of the methods to evaluate sustainability. Environmental, social and financial perspectives have been measured using relevant tools. Measuring these three perspectives gives perfect picture of impact caused by organization on environment and also on the society. Financial perspective gives a qualitative view of the financial expenditures, payments and receipts. It also focuses on the financial grants given to SWM department of BBMP.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
