Abstract

This essay discusses the complexity and paradoxes in tracking, measuring, and establishing a sustainability feedback mechanism relevant not only for companies, but for “business ecosystems” to achieve the UN SDGs based on ESG reporting. This study underlines how measurements and reporting of ESG and the UN SDGs lack a shared semantic reservoir, which makes it more difficult for various decision-makers to make decisions providing for the huge course-correction needed – or with other words: it makes it easier to continue the present way of operation or make a to slow course-correction. The contribution of the research illuminates the inappropriate character of the standardization efforts and what is needed to socially construct the required shared semantic reservoir. Last, but not least, the research illuminates the disappointing news, that the large fiscal recovery investments related to the Covid-recovery, have also not provided the course-correction hoped for.
