Environmental protection expenditure of enterprises

Description

Purpose and brief description The themes of environment and economy, on the one hand, delve deeper into environmental expenditure, both corporate and government, and on the other, discuss the environmental sector as an economic sector. Population Belgian State Periodicity Annually. Release calendar Results available 2 years after the reference period Break in the statistical series from 2018 onwards Up until reference year 2017, Statbel considered one enterprise as one legal unit. However, in a globalised economy, this approach did not always ensure that business statistics reflected reality, as enterprises were increasingly structured into enterprise groups. Considering one enterprise = one legal unit was problematic when describing an economic reality or observing an autonomous economic player in its decisions and actions on the market. To remedy this problem, which affects many European countries, the European Statistical Network (ESSnet) has proposed a more precise definition of the enterprise: A statistical unit enterprise is an organizational market oriented unit which benefits from sufficient degree of autonomy in decision-making. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations. Meaningful data for statistics can be provided for this unit. The enterprise can correspond to a single legal unit (not controlled by any other legal entity), an enterprise group as a set of legal units under common control, or an autonomous part of an enterprise group. Statbel decided to apply this new definition from the reference year 2018 onwards, which led to a break in the statistical series. Definitions Economic activity (NACE-BEL): Official nomenclature with an "X" at the end of the number since the information is only available for 4 positions. Index of sustainable economic welfare: The ISEW is an adjusted gross domestic product (GDP), which better reflects real economic welfare as perceived by people. The normal GDP does not take into account the contribution of unpaid labour, specifically household labour, or the production of goods and services by the government. Therefore, to household expenditures, as normally included in the GDP calculation, is added an estimate of the value of household labour and the value of public services. On the other hand, "defensive" expenditures, such as the fight against income insecurity, do not really increase welfare but only maintain it. So those expenses are deducted. Finally, the GDP does not take into account income inequality. This is also corrected by the ISEW: when income inequality increases, people's real economic welfare decreases. Moreover, the GDP is blind to long-term economic consequences: economic growth may come at the expense of environmental capital passed on to future generations. The ISEW corrects that deviation by subtracting the depreciation of natural capital.
