    Abstract

    Driven by external pressure, enterprises have begun to recognize the importance of sustainability. However, current sustainability reporting systems require improvements to include ways of measuring sustainability. This article presents a framework of a sustainable balance sheet (SBS) that is an extended version of a traditional balance sheet. The conceptual tools of this SBS framework come from relevant parts of resource theory and Vatter’s fund theory (Vatter, 1947)
