ERP Results
As of 2007, results were
available from six states that had completed a full ERP cycle in one or more
sectors. Each of these states found that ERP has improved the
environmental performance of businesses, as measured by improvements in
top-priority indicators of performance between baseline and post-certification
inspections. Called Environmental Business
Practice Indicators (EBPIs), these top-priority indicators typically
demonstrate facility performance in terms of both compliance and voluntary best
management practices.
Additional
information about ERP's
demonstrated results, environmental outcomes, cost
effectiveness compared to traditional regulatory approaches, and how ERP can
improve and maintain sector performance over the long term is available in the ERP States Produce Results Report.
