A visual companion to the KPI List workbook — a product-focused catalogue of sustainability indicators. Raw measurements at the bottom flow upward and combine into a single composite Sustainability score. Explore the live hierarchy below.
At the very top sits one number. It comes from five domains. Each domain breaks into sub-scores, and those into deeper scores, down to the raw data points someone must supply.
This tree comes from the actual master catalogue. Pick a domain, expand the branches, and click any indicator to see what it measures, how the engine computes it, and the standards behind it. Grey leaves marked DATA are the raw numbers a company supplies.
Every indicator sits at one of five levels. Higher-level scores are darker. The Level-5 raw data points are the lightest grey, and those are the ones you supply numbers for.
Each domain has a letter prefix. EN0 is the domain score. EN1, EN2… are Level-2 sub-scores. Add a digit per level down (EN11, EN131). Raw data points take a hyphen (EN1-1). The ID itself encodes the tree.
In Resource Efficiency the IDs R0–R9 look identical to the circular-economy R-principles R0–R9 (R2 = Reduce) in the glossary. They are completely different things. Always read R2 by context.
You read the tree top-down to understand it, but numbers flow upward. You supply the Level-5 raw data points. Each score combines its children and feeds its parent, up to the domain score and finally the composite.
Every row's Calculation Strategy says how the row produces its value. Leaves are raw values. Above them a row is either a score (always 0–1) or a raw total (a sum or formula in kg, €, …). The number on each card is how many indicators use that strategy.
When a score combines several children, a weight says how much each child counts. Under any one parent, the weights of all direct children should add up to 1, keeping every score on the same 0–1 scale. The template ships equal 1/N defaults, and each company overrides them. If a whole branch has no data, its weight effectively becomes 0, so the branch drops out instead of dragging the score down.
Min-max normalization maps raw values to 0–1: (Value − Min) / (Max − Min). The workbook has no separate higher/lower switch. Whichever bound is larger sets the direction.
The key sequence: understand top-down → gather data first → set weights and min/max afterwards.
Data? = x rows. The Metrics List sheet is the flat checklist of all of them, with links back to context.| Code | Principle | Meaning |

Normalized: min-max scaling onto 0–1. Whichever bound is larger sets the direction.
Inflow / Outflow: quantity entering or leaving the process scope.
LCA: Life Cycle Assessment, a common data source (OpenLCA, GaBi).
LCC: Life Cycle Costing, the data source for monetary data.

Each of the five domain sheets shares these 22 columns. The Metrics List sheet mirrors only the first 18 (it is a raw-row checklist) and drops the four per-company input columns.
