Descripción: The notion of sustainable development is widely accepted and considerable research has been conducted on the actual programs, initiatives, policies and measures taken, both in profit and non-profit organizations, to decrease respective actors' environmental, economic and social impacts. In contrast, the topic of the sustainability of those very structures, processes and means (essentially the question of how things are being done as opposed to what is being done) has received less attention. This paper presents the current results of a research project at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and the University of Basel concerning an evaluation system for sustainable project implementation and reporting for non-profit organizations. It will be demonstrated that by offering a tool consisting of a comprehensive overview of potentially relevant issues and aspects as well as extensive guidelines for laypersons, the system enables non-profit organizations to plan, evaluate and report on the sustainability of their project implementation steps, increasing their overall sensitivity towards sustainability.
