  • Less is More

    BSH Group

    Less is more – This applies especially where the environment is concerned. Less energy consumption means more climate protection, because using energy efficiently is the fastest and easiest way to save energy and avoid CO2 emissions. This applies to all areas of life – including the “little things”. With super-efficient home appliances, every household can reduce its power and water consumption considerably. And that benefits our climate and our budgets.  more[...]  login_required

  • The Sustainable Potential in Energy Efficiency

    Grundfos

    The human race is facing one of its biggest challenges, and if ignored, it could potentially spiral out of control. Over the past century, the rising global population has triggered a massive growth in industry development, leading to a bottleneck effect where existing resources are disappearing and the challenge to discover new energy sources has become a top priority. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the world’s energy consumption has increased on average 1.4 percent every year since 1990. It is forecasted to continue, which will result in a 49 percent increase in energy consumption from now until 2035.  more[...]

    Copeinca

    COPEINCA’s environmental management is oriented toward efficiency in the process of production. We have modernized and re-promoted our processing plants to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the fuel used for the production of fishmeal. The process is now efficient thanks to the technological implementations and innovations that allow us to produce fishmeal of better quality with Steam Dried technology instead of Direct Fire technology. This innovation has allowed us to not only reduce the amount of gas emissions and particulate materials released into the environment, but also to create a type of fishmeal with better levels of protein.  more[...]  login_required

  • Economic Impact of Protected Areas in Europe

    In Europe, many different tools are used for protecting biodiversity and natural areas, including the Natura 2000 network, the Habitats Directive and the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas. To the European business sector, however, the potential economic value of Natural and National parks is little known. More and more companies are looking for ways to contribute to biodiversity protection. The European Business & Biodiversity Campaign and EUROPARC Federation are offering new aspects to the debate how protected areas can be maintained, and how societies can re-connect to the ecological, socio-cultural and economic value of such landscapes. European protected areas can bring measurable direct and flow-on economic benefits to local, regional, state and national economies.  more[...]  login_required
