To enable sustainable impact, it is essential to adopt a long-term approach and work in an interdisciplinary manner. The interconnection of economic, social and ecological aspects, combined with the inherently complex nature of organisations, makes an integrated approach indispensable. A focus limited to a single subdomain of an organisation is insufficient to capture its actual impact. We therefore examine the characteristics and criteria of organisational systems from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our focus lies on modelling and implementing sustainable policies, as well as measuring and reporting impact.
