Mindful consumption: a customer-centric approach to sustainability (2011, methodology): “Then CCS performance ratings can serve as a distinct measure of corporate sustainability performance, or can be used as complement to various indices of environmental and social responsibility performance (Bennett and James 1999; Dahlsrud 2008; Mayer 2008).”
Applications of aggregation theory to sustainability assessment (2015, unknown): “Many sustainability assessment researchers argue that normalization by using a distance-to-target method is an appropriate way to deal with variables that reside on different scales of measurability (Mayer, 2008; Moldan et al., 2012).”

Review of sustainability indices and indicators: Towards a new City Sustainability Index (CSI) (2012, background): “The environmentally-adjusted net product (EDP or Green GDP) is a modified GDP measure, which is derived by deducting the depreciation of produced capital and the amount of resource depletion and environmental degradation from GDP (Böhringer and Jochem, 2007; Dietz and Neumayer, 2007; Mayer, 2008).”
