SMITE provides the means for on-line Environmental Management
  • Assess the legislative and technological performance
  • Benchmark the environmental performance
  • Introduce new technologies and implement technical interventions
  • Adopt “good practice” guidelines for improving environmental performance
  • Estimate the potential cost or benefit of the suggested interventions
For each environmental performance issue, the tool will help you:
  • Calculate the volume of key resources you are currently consuming
  • Compare your resource consumption with that of similar businesses worldwide
  • Implement programs to reduce resource consumption
  • Calculate the financial and resources savings you could make by improving environmental performance.
