Enterprises which decide to implement sustainability following the triple-bottom-approach (environmental, social, economical) face an almost infinite number of practices and tools that are more or less appropriate for managing this challenge. Using suitable management practices on the various management levels can speed up and smoothen this change process. The objective of this paper is to develop an overview and classification which should enable managers to easily find and pick useful general management practices for the implementation of sustainability. Therefore, an intensive literature research was conducted to find out which management practices for implementing sustainability are commonly used and to analyze the current state of classifications in the given field. Based on the findings suitable classification tables have been developed. In the first dimension of the classification tables the management practices are sorted into the three management levels "normative, strategic, and operative". In the second dimension, the management practices are sorted according to the five management functions "planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling". The result is a guiding tool for managers of various levels enabling them to quickly find suitable management practices for the implementation of sustainability on a certain management level and for a specific function. Further validation of the result with regard to its feasibility in practice is recommended.
