Abstract:This paper presents supply curves for environmental (here as: env-al.) improvement based on a set of possible env-al. measures for a company in the Dutch oil and gas producing industry. Five methods for weighting env-al. impacts, covering a wide range of current practices are compared. The supply curves determined for each of the five weighting methods show relatively small differences, except for one, that's the distance-to-target method. The ranking of measures differs significantly, though, and as a result, so do the selected measures if total costs are restricted to a certain budget.
