This paper describes the design and development of a corporate sustainability index (CSI) platform for corporate sustainability performance (CSP) analysis. The CSI platform design was theoretically underpinned with management theories of CSP and organizational theories. A prototype system was developed and evaluated to demonstrate the feasibility of the design and the usability of the functionalities of the proposed CSI platform. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first identifiable application of a CSI prototype system for CSP analysis in academic literature. The prototype system is expected to be further developed and converted into an industry scalable CSI platform.
