As the green movement continues to mature, the question "why green?" is being transformed into "how green?" Since green is here to stay, companies are turning their attention to the process of organizing, prioritizing and measuring the impact of their green investments. However, most companies lack a comprehensive framework for benchmarking sustainability investments across the enterprise.

Deloitte launched a green benchmarking initiative to help companies assess and compare their sustainability projects and prioritize these efforts to deliver a high return on investment and benefit the environment. The following tools, available as an outcome of The Green Benchmarking Project Classification research, will help companies improve their own green strategic planning function:

• Green project benchmarking frequency analysis
• Green project benchmarking impact and payback
• Green project maturity model
• Green impact footprint
• Sustainable business value map
