Abstract

A corporation that wants to fully embrace sustainability must address all three pillars of the triple bottom line. Among profit, planet, and people, it is this last category that is hardest to measure directly. When a company has remote locations and cannot directly observe effort, the compliance must be inferred from other metrics. We introduce a game-theoretic model to influence plant compliance to corporate goals.
