Sustainability Metrics and Indices
Sustainability metrics and indices are tools used to measure how well industries are performing in terms of environmental and social responsibility. In the context of industrial ecology, these metrics assess factors like resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the overall impact on ecosystems. Indices compile these measurements into a single score or ranking, helping businesses and policymakers track progress toward sustainability goals. By providing clear data, they guide decision-making, inspire improvements, and promote a shift towards more sustainable practices in industrial operations.
