Stage One - Defines eco-efficiency and outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing eco-efficiency
Stage Two - Provides information on the steps to take to become more efficient
Stage Three - Provides fact sheets and other assistance with ideas on what to implement once eco-efficiency has been adopted
Stage Four - Assists manufacturers to become world-class, sustainable manufacturers through continuous improvement.
