This article seems to be quite informative regarding using EPIs for measuring environmental performance and their importance. The entry explains that there are two different classifications of EPIs: financial/non-financial indicators and ISO 14031 guidelines. Financial and non-financial indicators work hand in hand and both are good indicators of organizations effectiveness. However, the ISO 14031 guidelines are widely used and suggest three different indicators including: environmental condition indicators, operational performance indicators and management performance indicators. It is very important to consider all of these types of indicators when we try to define how to measure environmental performance.
