Tag #Firm Environmental Performance Index (Fepi)

What is the significance of the Firm Environmental Performance Index (FEPI) in assessing the environmental sustainability of global value chains?

A new index, the Firm Environmental Performance Index (FEPI), measures the environmental performance of over 15,000 firms across 32 countries. It reveals that environmental impact varies significantly even within sectors, with more productive firms exhibiting lower emissions per unit of production. This granular approach contrasts with traditional methods focusing on national or industry-level emissions, which may overlook key pollution sources.
