点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of the project is to develop a novel Ecological Footprint concept to be applied at the company level to Sydney Water Corporation, an urban water services provider. The project will address major methodological limitations of the existing national EF concept by using regionalised input-output analysis. The outcome will be a sound, comprehensive, quantitative, reproducible, transparent and reliable EF method. This new method will be an effective environmental reporting and communications tool for Sydney Water. Its value is greatly increased by the fact that it will be a generic approach to environmental reporting for any economic entity.
