A new software-based sustainable development management tool has been developed at ODI in collaboration with the international software firm eTrack Products pty. The tool tracks the linkage between the deployment of assets for sustainable development activities, and a register of development and financial benefits, the latter ‘on’ the Balance Sheet. This information allows CSR and HSE managers to plan, track and evaluate their portfolios of sustainable development and social investment programmers (including complex multi-sector social partnerships). The tool is currently being demonstrated to a number of multi-national companies.
