The project aims to identify how small manufacturing companies can develop operations characterised by both economic and ecological sustainability. The project involves over 300 companies and focuses on determining the impact of various sustainability strategies on company performance.
The project results indicate that the relationship between environmental efforts and profitability is complex and that engaging in environmental sustainability is by no means a universal solution to improving profitability. At the same time, the project highlights that, and under which circumstances, a number of specific environmental strategies have a positive impact on company performance.
