The research seeks to address the following research question: How are process-oriented indicators linked to an organization's strategy in the context of sustainable development? This research is based on reviewing the literature on organizational performance analysis in the context of sustainable development. The literature review highlights the main elements of organizational performance analysis and linkages to the overall business strategy. There are many ways of how to conduct an in depth assessment of an organization's performance regarding sustainability. The research shows the elements that are integrated in the process and the organization's performance analysis.
