by Fabrizia Manzo
International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation (IJTTC), Vol. 19, No. 1, 2022

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to focus the attention on the state of the art of the so-called sustainability indicators, i.e., that group of data, statistic values and guidelines useful to the qualitative or quantitative evaluation of environmental, social and economical conditions of a system under examination. In particular, we will try to establish the links between the effective application of these indicators in modern society and the role of policy in the development and assessment of laws to actualise the effective application. The structure of the paper has been made in three steps. First, we start from the concept of sustainable development. Second, we explain the main aspects of the most important sustainability. Finally, we tackle the limits of the actual application of the sustainability indicators and the implication of policy in this application.
