Performance indicator for Sustainable Development Projects mentioned in DPE guidelines

Part 2, Jump to Part 1

For each project activity as included in scheduled A and scheduled B (Refer table 1), corresponding performance indicator(s) will be identified, monitored and measured to gauge the actual performance of the project that has been taken.  There will be three types of indicators i.e. (1) Environmental Condition Indicators (Ambient) (ECI), (2) Operational performance Indicators (OPI) and (3) Management Performance Indicators (MPI). The details are given below;

Table 1: Performance indicator

Sr. No	Performance indicators	Detailed information
1	Environmental Condition Indicators (Ambient)(ECI)	Indicators that influence the local, regional, national or global condition of the environment, ecology and energy
2	Operational performance Indicators (OPI)	Indicators that impact the following; Inputs of materials, energy and services Design, installation, operation and maintenance of the  facilities and equipment Outputs of products, services, wastes and emissions (recycled, reused materials, etc.)
3	Management Performance Indicators (MPI)	Indicators that are based on: Implementation of policies and programmes (trainings) Resource allocation & efficient utilization Financial performances (environmental cost management) Community relations (interaction on environmental issues)

 

Table 2: Sustainability projects under schedule A and their evaluation criteria

Sr. No.	Sustainability Project Categories – Schedule A	Objectives	Evaluation  criteria/Performance indicators
			ECI	OPI	MPI
1	Waste Management	Objective: To reduce hazardous waste generation	Concentration of toxic contaminants in waste outlet  stream	Percentage of targets to achieving project objective that  have been successful as planned	Amount of hazardous waste produced per unit of product
2	Water Management	Objective: To reduce water consumption	Concentration of contaminants in water inlet to plant	Cost of water savings after implementation of project/activity to achieve objective	water consumption per unit of product
3	Energy Management	Objective: To increase energy efficiency	Not applicable	Number of persons trained in implementing Energymanagement Systems in the plant	Energy used annually per unit of product
4	Renewable energy	Objective: To promote utilization of renewable energy	Not applicable	Percentage of total electricity used from renewable energy either through purchase of RE or REC	Resource allocation for setting up of RE generation projects and/or voluntary procurement of RECs
5	Biodiversity Conservation	Objective: To implement initiatives to protect a particular animal species in the vicinity of plant	Population of specific animal species within a defined area	Not applicable	Percentage of initiatives targets that have been achieved
6	Material & Natural Resource Management	Objective: To implement initiatives to ensure the soil quality in the surrounding area of plant	Contaminant Concentration in soil	Not applicable	Percentage of initiatives targets that have been achieved

Note: Performance indicators will be assessed against the targets set by CPSE

Table 3: Sustainability projects under schedule B and their evaluation criteria

Sr. No	Sustainability Project Categories	Evaluation  criteria/ Performance indicators
	Schedule B
1	Carbon Management	(1) Environmental Condition Indicators (Ambient) (ECI),(2) Operational performance Indicators (OPI) and(3) Management Performance Indicators (MPI)
2	Supply Chain
3	External Charters/ Mandate
4	Life Cycle Analysis
5	SD Reporting (Read more on sustainability reporting based on GRI guidelines in India)
6	Training

These criteria are aligned with DPE 2012-13 guidelines.
