What is Eco-efficiency?
Eco-efficiency assessment is a methodology which utilises various performance indicators to determine whether an operation is progressing in a sustainable manner.
What are the benefits?
Environmental: – Reduced emissions and materials consumption per unit of manufacturing or service output.
Financial: – Unfavourable eco-efficiency trends may be an early warning of competitive decline. The eco-efficiency discipline brings together the financial, production, resource consumption and environmental damage aspects of an operation in a unique way. This allows a new overview of a company’s performance to be obtained.
Perception: – Opportunity to show quantitatively, using internationally recognised indicators, and the favourable development of the enterprise. (Many major companies have published their eco-efficiency profiles on the internet).

I think Eco-efficiency is when a financial or productive profit is made by having low consumptions or waste.
