To evaluate these two areas, which are not necessarily cause-effect or directly correlated, such as impact on environment and cash flow, you need metrics other than those that measure economic success or environmental success because economic success is currently taught based on profit generation and cash flow generation, whereas environmental success is based on either a reduction in pollutants/gasses/energies or some form of sustainability in areas unrelated to business but related to social determinants that are often subjectively determined.

Perhaps this is why governments are required to force subjective regulations and penalties, for various subjective environmental issues that can offer political contributions, and which often lead to well intended ideology promoted but realistically resulting in corrupt application and direction of funding.

Solindra is an example, where tax payers funded political environmental ideology only to watch the funds be laundered, similar to Clinto initiatives.
