The “One Framework to Rule Them All: An Integrated, Multi-level and Scalable Performance Measurement Framework of Sustainability, Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis” research paper discusses the need for the industry to transition towards sustainability, circular economy, and industrial symbiosis paradigms. Despite the potential benefits, the implementation of these paradigms is still debated, and firms face challenges in integrating them. The study highlights the overlaps and tensions among the three paradigms and emphasizes the lack of adequate performance measurement systems. It proposes an integrated, multi-level, and scalable performance measurement framework that addresses the synergies and trade-offs among sustainability, circular economy, and industrial symbiosis. The paper outlines the research question, literature review, methodology, and empirical validation process for developing the framework. The results and implications are discussed, and future research directions are suggested.
