Tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the <strong>right ESG-related key performance indicators (KPIs) is not much different from choosing the right financial metrics.<\/strong> The main difference is that many ESG metrics do not follow a mathematical formula.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For simplicity, our partners at Lucanet interpret them as a &#8222;value drivers tree.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.balkanservices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/esg-tree-1.png\" alt=\"ESG tree - Balkan Services\" class=\"wp-image-4990\" style=\"width:672px;height:auto\"

example presented, the Environment, Social, and Governance divisions are distinguished, but they can also be<strong> further subdivided into sub-categories according to business needs. <\/strong>This will enable you to create a more comprehensive and detailed &#8222;value drivers tree.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge is creating comparable metrics that will allow you to consolidate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-343c592\" data-block-id=\"343c592\"><style>.stk-343c592{height:35px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We share 4 steps to simplify this process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decide how to measure each of the selected metrics in quantitative values;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set a performance range for each metric;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recalculate the data so that they all fit into the 1-5 or 1-10 scale;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summarize the results across all indicators to compare each against the highest possible value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-c53a387\" data-block-id=\"c53a387\"><style>.stk-c53a387{height:35px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This will allow you to calculate a comparable score at each level of the &#8222;driving force tree&#8220; and calculate the overall ESG score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will not be comparable to other companies as there is no set standard for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer
