Why does ADVANCE use the EU15-level as benchmark?
ADVANCE is a European study. It has received co-funding from the LIFE Environment programme. One of its major goals is to assess European industry’s environmental performance in monetary terms. In order to allow transparent comparisons between companies we have chosen the EU15 level as benchmark. This means that every company is assessed against the same benchmark. In addition, we conduct a future performance scenario. In this scenario, we use the EU15 economic and environmental performance targets as benchmark. This shows which companies use their environmental resources in a way that is inline with the economic and environmental performance targets of the EU15. With the EU15 as benchmark we can determine both, sector leaders and the potential of structural change. Click here to go back to the top.
