Abstract

As businesses struggle to maintain sustainability, a
great deal of interest has focused on the issues of
performance measurement systems. This paper provides
a literature review on the evolution of performance
measurement systems, from the traditional performance
measures to the sustainable balanced scorecard. More
importantly, this paper highlights the vital role of
sustainable balanced scorecard as a tool that manages
both economic and environmental performance. Majority
of the existing sustainable balanced scorecard studies
were found to be of normative nature giving limited
information on how the integration process between
economic and environmental dimensions is being carried
out via balanced scorecard. Future research is needed to
enhance the understanding of the role of the sustainable
balanced scorecard as an important tool in the
management of economic and environmental
performance in the organization.
Keywords:  Balanced Scorecard, Environmental
