This embeddedness also holds true when it comes to the relation of the SBSC with other tools of sustainability and environmental management. As the SBSC is used to translate a verbally formulated strategy into operational terms, it can be seen as a tool for strategic control. Thus, it has a very tight link to information management tools, which can also be found with corporate control, corporate eco-control, environmental, economic and social performance indicators, as well as internal reporting devices. On the other hand, the formulation of an SBSC depends on information generated by tools for strategic planning. Furthermore, through each of its perspectives the SBSC establishes links to the realms of finance, marketing, operational or process management, human resources and issues management, within all of which environmental specifications can be found in literature. The approach proposed in this article can help to chose the most pertinent tools for environmental and social management for a specific business considered. Eventually, this will enhance both effective and efficient environmental and social management and sustained economic success.
