Performance EvaluationWhat is PE?
What?
Environmental performance: “ ... the extent and effectiveness of actions to address its environmental aspects”.
Outline of PE: 1.selecting indicators covering the most important environmental aspects (or
problems);
2.collecting and analysing data;
3.assessing the information identify improvement potentials put them into action.
Tool which helps companies to measure and evaluate its environmental performance.

Performance Evaluation Areas of Application
Where?
• To evaluate selected environmental aspects, either - company wide;- for certain departments/production sites/workshops;- for single machines.
• To support environmental management, e.g.- do we comply with the regulation?- where are the “low hanging fruits”?
• On a more strategic level, PE- helps to benchmark against competitors;- gives guidance on investment decisions.

Performance Evaluation Benefits
Why?
Why evaluate the performance?
• to reveal cost-savings and other benefits;
• to identify and prioritise improvement potentials;
• to track and document performance and progress in minimising the environmental impacts;
• to demonstrate and communicate the improved performance to stakeholders (public, financial sector, insurances, unions etc.);
• to support strategic decision-making with respect to infrastructure investments or the product portfolio.
You can only manage what you know, and you can only know what you measure.

Performance Evaluation Indicator
How?
How to select indicators:
• prioritise the most significant environmental impacts;• select impacts where the company is able to make a change;• select the most characteristic criteria considering the user.
Tool to provide information about environmental performance
Tool to provide information about environmental performance
... is something that helps us to understand where we are, which way we are going, and how far we are from where we want to be. A good indicator alerts us to a problem before it gets too bad and helps us recognise what needs to be done to fix the problem (Hart, 1997).

• inform decision making to improve the performance of the organization
• recognize the inherent diversity of business• support benchmarking and monitoring over time• be clearly defined, measurable, transparent and
verifiable• be understandable and meaningful to identified
stakeholders• focus on areas under direct management control• recognize upstream and downstream aspects of a
company’s activities
Based on 8 Principles

Performance Evaluation WBCSD Indicators
How?
A) Generally applicable indicators
• valid for virtually all business;
• easy to measure;
•bear significant cost-saving potential.
Examples
Energy: tons of coal consumed/unit product
Water: m3 process water extracted from nearby river
Raw materials: m3 raw timber used/unit product

Performance Evaluation WBCSD Indicators
How?
B) Business specific indicators
• tailor-made for specific company;
• essential in order to get a complete picture;
•not less or more important per-se than “generally applicable indicators”.
Examples
Chemical usage: amount of varnish used per unit product
Chemical usage: percentage of water-based varnishes
Packaging: tons of packaging used
Wood dust: particulates (mg/m3) concentration indoors

Case Study
Electroplating unit that performes zinc, nickel, brass and chrome plating
Source: UNEP
Cleaner Production assessment identified a number of pollution problems including
The excessive water use as one of the main problems.
• Performance Indicators have been set up, in order to:
1. identify the best saving options within the production process
2. be able to track the changes over time

Common structure of an EPD
1. Programme-related information
e.g. Name of EPD programme, registration number, reference to relevant websites
2. Product-related information
e.g. Product information, identification according to classification schemes
3. Environmental performance-related information
e.g. Emissions of pollutants and their global warming potential, resource use
4. Additional environmental inormation
e.g. company information, supply chain management
5. Mandatory statements
e.g. omissions of life cycle stages, means of obtaining explanatory materials

Performance Evaluation Tips for Action!
Tips
• Start with a simple, but tailor-made approach.
• “Less is more” – collect only data which can be
transformed into useful information.
• Communicate your findings to management.
• Report your improvements to the local
community, the financial sector and other
interested parties
(see tool on Corporte Reporting).
