Summary/Abstract: The development concept based on balancing social, economic and natural areas in enterprises takes on particular significance. The examples are efforts to improve the quality of life of employees, management statements concerning compliance with the law, promoting environmental actions. All of these activities are dictated by the companies on the one hand by the desire to stand out against the background of other market participants, and on the other by the necessity to take a wide responsibility for activities related to the conduct of business. Paying attention to the unique intangible elements, which often determine the value of a company, is a key element of the strategy of modern enterprises. The purpose of this study is to present the risk of a coexistent element of the concept of sustainable development. For this purpose the author has analyzed the available reports prepared by Ernst & Young and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston Consulting Group in 2010-2013. The article presents a tool of self-assessment of maturity level of the implemented concept of sustainable development aimed, inter alia, at effective monitoring the risk levels in five areas.
