Environmental Performance Measurement (EPM) - as a Basis for Environmentally-oriented Management at the Corporate Level of the Degussa AG
Table of contents
To get detailed information about the results of a company's environmental commitment and to enable a continuous control of improvement potentials, the measurement of environmental performance has to be implemented in companies. This procedure can be seen as a new stage in the development of environmental management.
The project is based on the already Completed Project "Measuring company internal environmental performance". The EPM model that was elaborated will be further developed so that it can be applied in practice. Besides the measurement of the environmental performance of chosen locations of the Degussa AG, a product-oriented approach of the EPM model has been developed. This means that in the future more transparent product decisions can be made which take aspects of sustainability into consideration.
The environmental controlling is oriented on already existing business concepts, so that a higher acceptance in particular company sectors can be expected. An integration in management instruments which are applied on group and/or firm levels is aimed at.
