Abstract
The context of sustainability as embodied in SENSOR, using the ‘triple bottom line’ concept, is briefly identified, and consequent frameworks and criteria for identifying indicators are discussed. These theoretical and practical criteria set significant constraints on the possible indicators to be used. The indicators are discussed in a summary form, and lessons are drawn. Reflections on the indicators and their use conclude the chapter.
