The dynamics of contemporary corporate asset suggest the expediency of evolving a measurement tool for corporate environmental sustainability as an important dimension of intellectual capital (IC) . This is evident in current increase in corporate intellectual resources, technological assets and sophistry as an effective tool for advancing corporate competiveness. What has remained largely understudied is efficiency in resource use. A transition to environmental resource measurement is now critical to corporate development experts who seek to explore corporate efficiency. Personal surveys of environmental sustainability and Intellectual Capital measurement nexus were conducted with structured questionnaires to test formulated hypotheses for the research. A non-probability sampling procedure was chosen for the research sample. Findings suggest that environmental sustainability has been elusive in intellectual capital measurement. Policy discourse and alternative model to redress identified gaps was proposed.
