When select step 6, you will have the choice of selecting a ready-made indicator set or of making your own set to suit your own organisation’s needs. If you prefer to select your own you will find a pop-up window with a whole range of economic/financial, social and environmental indicators to scroll through and choose from. Many are included as aggregated items as well as their disaggregated components.
For example under the Environmental heading you will find a Material flow indicator. It contains a category Timber as well as its sub-categories Softwoods and Hardwoods. It also contains Seafood as well as its sub-categories Rock lobsters, Prawns, Raw fish, Shellfish. Under the Energy indicator you will find fuel categories such as Brown coal as well as its 17 listed equipment sub-categories.
You may choose either an aggregated category, like Material flow, or one or more sub-categories within an aggregated category (e.g. Timber, Softwoods and/or Hardwoods). What you choose will depend on the data you have, the degree of accuracy you require in your reports and the business you are engaged in.
For example as an electricity user you may want to include electricity as an indicator, but if you were for some reason an unusually heavy user of electricity or an electricity producer you may want to include a number of the sub-categories within electricity as part of your indicator set.
