Description: Das Projekt "Creating eco-efficient producer services" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Institut für ökologische Wirtschaftsforschung (IÖW) GmbH, gemeinnützig, Department Ecological Product Policy durchgeführt. General Information: The overall purpose of this project is to bring the topic of eco-efficient services into the mainstream of European business and policy-making by examining their broad characteristics and possibilities for and barriers to their development and provide practical tools for both large companies and SMEs to identify opportunities to introduce them. The main focus is on eco-efficient producer services, i.e. business-to-business-perspective. The specific objectives are to: - develop a conceptual model of the key elements involved in the development of eco-efficient producer services - identify the drivers for the introduction of selected eco-efficient producer services - assess the impact of selected eco-efficient producer services on organizational competitiveness and employment - compare and contrast eco-efficient producer services with those in final consumer/tertiary services - identify corporate level barriers which create barriers to the development of eco-efficient producer services - identify policy barriers to the development of eco-efficient producer services - develop practical tools, e.g. checklists and workbooks, which can be used by organizations and entrepreneurs The project will: 1. Clarify understanding and develop conceptual models of an important economic and environmental issue. 2. Provide policy makers with a clearer understanding of the importance and nature of eco-efficient services and the ways in which they can influence its development. 3. Provide the business sector with practical tools which they can utilise to identify and assess eco-efficient service opportunities. 4. Provide insights into the actual and potential contribution of eco-efficient producer services to the attainment of sustainable development. The service sector is becoming more important in all EU economies and an increasingly significant determinant of environmental impacts. Hence, it is vitally important that they develop in an eco-efficient manner. Eco-efficient services are a means of achieving this. Their relatively low capital requirements also mean that they are an activity particularly suitable to SMEs.
