Highlights •Research on sustainability transitions is focused on systemic change and the process of transitions. Insights on how to measure the contribution of innovation to sustainability are limited.•We review five different innovation perspectives and how they are linked to sustainability transitions (organizational innovation management, regional innovation ecosystems, responsible innovation, mission-driven innovation, and social innovation).•We find that the status of measurement becomes weaker as we move from actor-oriented to mode-oriented to process-oriented concepts of innovation, such as social innovation.•We propose a measurement approach for capturing social innovation that connects actor-oriented and procedural elements.•We provide prompts for future research on sustainability transitions and social innovation.
