I recommend we start with the OECD metrics (similarly like how we use the Sustainable Development Goal class for sustainable development goals).

We need to classify them by the 3 sub-attributes identified:

• Economic Sustainability =The ability to support a defined level of economic production indefinitely. Focus on poverty, hunger, and health. In a business context this implies using assets efficiently and effectively to ensure continued profitability and re-use of raw materials.
• Environmental Sustainability = The ability to maintain rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely; Focus on the environment, natural resources, and energy. In a business context this implies reducing a companies environmental footprint, net energy consumption, and shortening supply, production and distribution networks.
• Social Sustainability = The ability to build and support healthy communities that support current and future generations; Focus on education, equality, peace, and justice. In a business context this implies enforcing basic human rights, labor rights and corporate governance.

Here are the OECD metrtics:

Inputs

I1. Non-renewable materials intensity - note: link to Source processes

I2. Restricted substances intensity - note: link to Source processes

I3. Recycled/reused content - note: link to Source processes

Operations

O1. Water intensity - note: link to Source/Make processes

O2. Energy intensity - note: link to Source/Make/Deliver processes

O3. Renewable proportion of energy - note: link to Source/Make/Deliver processes

O4. Greenhouse gas intensity - note: link to Source/Make/Deliver processes

O5. Residuals intensity - note: link to Make processes

O6. Air releases intensity - note: link to Make processes

O7. Water releases intensity - note: link to Make processes

O8. Proportion of natural land - note: link to Make processes

Products

P1. Recycled/reused content - note: link to Source processes = I3

P2. Recyclability - note: link to? This is whether the product can be recycled later

P3. Renewable materials content - note: link to Source processes

P4. Non-renewable materials intensity - note: link to Source processes = I1

P5. Restricted substances content - note: link to Source processes = I2

P6. Energy consumption intensity - note: link to Source/Make/Deliver processes

P7. Greenhouse gas emissions intensity - note: link to Source/Make/Deliver processes
