Sustainable Industry: Going for Growth & Resource Efficiency

The report on Resource Efficiency published presents a synthesis summary of two recent research studies produced by Ecorys for the European Commission. The first study, “EU industry in a sustainable growth context”, provided input for the forthcoming 2011 European Competitiveness Report, and focuses on the overall eco-performance of EU industry in the last 10-20 years. The second study, “Study on Competitiveness of European Companies and Resource Efficiency”, looks at resource efficiency performance, with much more focus on the company and sector level. The findings from both these studies are interesting and highly relevant to future EU competitiveness, growth and environmental performance.
