'Sustainable companies' performance compared to other companies (24.3) (SCP 032) - Assessment DRAFT created Apr 2012: The European companies included in the DJSI performed steadily better than major European companies included in STOXX 50 during the past decade. This suggests that the financial/stock markets may recognise a premium in investing in sustainable companies, perhaps as a result of increasing use of sustainability criteria or at least sustainability considerations when selecting suitable investments. However, this premium does not appear to be sustained during periods of economic slowdown.

Land in Europe: prices, taxes and use patterns: Developments in land‑use patterns across Europe are generating considerable concern, particularly in relation to achievement of environmental goals. Land‑use trends — such as urban sprawl and land abandonment — are jeopardising the future for sustainable land use. Moreover, these trends endanger the achievement of European environmental goals in areas such as biodiversity protection and water management and also hinder the effectiveness of instruments in these areas, including the Natura 2000 network and the Water Framework Directive.

Greenland is stepping up its efforts to improve waste management: Reduce, reuse, recycle – the common mantra of waste management makes the process sound simple. But while these three ingredients may be the same, the recipe for sustainable waste management can be very different – and Greenland’s unique environment presents some considerable challenges.
