Breathing LIFE into greener businesses

This LIFE-Focus brochure supports the view of the EU Environment Commissioner, Stavros Dimas, that “going green is a ‘win-win’ approach for both business and the environment.” Nineteen successful LIFE projects from 11 countries are showcased, representing a small but valuable selection of the numerous successful LIFE initiatives supporting companies to strengthen their environmental performance. Presented in sections that reflect Europe’s main industrial sectors, this publication presents good business practice, which can guide and inspire businesses across the EU. I hope that these practical examples will highlight the economic benefits available and motivate even more European companies to take the decision to enhance their green credentials. After all, eco-innovation can be good for business and good for the environment.
