For internal management the Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) is applied. The targets of the institute are set by the directorate; the targets of the business units are agreed upon between the directorate and the heads of the business units (s. page 8 of the Fraunhofer UMSICHT Sustainability Report).

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft also reports its sustainability activities on the Internet. In October 2014 the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft published its first Sustainability Report.
