Description topics

Environmental investments
Investments in production facilities that are less damaging to the environment, such as installations for air purification, waste water treatment plants, construction of impermeable flooring, acoustic measures, etc.
The investments are classified by environmental domain:
- Water
- Air
- Other (soil, waste, noise, landscape)
If an environmental investment itself causes environmental problems, the investment needed to tackle these new problems is allocated to the domain of the initial measure as far as possible.
