环境报告是企业环境管理的工具，也可用作研究材料。本文的目的是产生一个全面的生态效率的定义的基础上的文献，然后将其与选定的公司出版的环境报告中确定的定义进行比较。此外，本文提出了一个概念框架之间的关系，环境和经济绩效的公司。选择了三家芬兰林业公司作为案例公司。本分析回顾了1998年至2007年公司发布的环境报告。简而言之，生态效率既可以被视为环境绩效的一个指标，也可以被视为可持续发展的一项商业战略。案例公司很少在其环境报告中给出生态效率的确切定义。然而，人们常常提到生态效率的不同方面。Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons，Ltd and ERP Environment.
Environmental reporting is a tool of corporate environmental management that can also be used as research material. The aim of this paper is to produce a comprehensive definition of eco-efficiency based on the literature and then compare it with definitions identified in the environmental reports published by selected companies. In addition, this paper presents a conceptual framework of the relationship between environmental and economic performance in the companies. Three Finnish companies in the forest industry are selected as case companies. This analysis reviews environmental reports published by the companies from 1998 to 2007. In short, eco-efficiency can be seen either as an indicator of environmental performance, or as a business strategy for sustainable development. The case companies very seldom give an exact definition of eco-efficiency in their environmental reports. However, different aspects of eco-efficiency are often referred to.
