This study examines the use of business intelligence in relation to sustainability and its drivers for utilisation. Through a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, this study finds how manufacturing organisations are underdeveloped in their use of business intelligence. Further, the study finds the driver for the use and under utilisation of business intelligence is connected to the strong focus on reporting sustainability instead of focusing on gaining competitive advantages.
