Summary:A number of indicators are evaluated and used to measure the environmental performance of the industry and energy sectors in Flanders and their progress towards sustainability: eco-efficiency, existence of a certified Environmental Management System, environmental expenditures, production of sustainable energy, environmental damage by electricity production, cost of environmental levies and number of registered complaints. The indicators are evaluated in relation with recently proposed frameworks and it is discussed whether the indicators are response or performance indicators; absolute or relative indicators.
