Assessing and monitoring sustainability in cultural organisations : how can a modular indicators framework improve sustainability in arts and cultural organisations?

Key takeaways: - A framework of 34 Key Sustainability Indicators (KSI) helps organisations assess sustainability across governance, social, and environmental dimensions. - Its modular structure combines mandatory and optional indicators across three levels of progression, enabling organisations to build sustainability step by step. - The framework supports strategic decisionmaking, benchmarking, and dialogue with funders and policy makers. - It will be embedded in a Sustainability Management System and tested with arts and cultural organisations to generate comparable data and shared learning.
