Projects
The Sustainable value approach has been applied in several projects and case studies.
The EU-funded project ADVANCE (Application and Dissemination of Value-based Eco-ratings financial markets) used the Sustainable Value approach to assess the environmental performance of 65 European companies in monetary terms.
In a project that is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (NeW – Nachhaltig erfolgreich Wirtschaften) the Sustainable Value approach is used to assess the triple bottom line performance of 28 German companies.
In a new EU-funded project SVAPPAS (Sustainable Value Analysis of Policy and Performance in the Agricultural Sector) a European consortium of research organisations uses the Sustainable Value approach to measure the sustainability performance of the agricultural sector in Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
