Dalhousie University's Eco-Efficiency Centre is a non-profit, non-government environmental management support centre for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The Centre was founded upon the principles of eco-efficiency, a management philosophy that seeks to achieve strengthened financial performance by minimizing the resources necessary to produce, consume and dispose of a particular product or service. This in turn minimizes the negative environmental impacts.
The Centre was established in 1998 as a partnership between Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Power Inc., and is supported by private corporations, governments and foundations.
The Eco-Efficiency Centre provides online support tools and resources for SMEs and in particular SMEs in Nova Scotia. Please review our online support tools, publications, past research and success stories for information to help your business cut costs and reduction your environmental impact.
