Motivations of Program Partners for Environmental Sustainability and Persistence of Benefits


Summary
The P3 program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln completed an analysis of past partners and found that those in the manufacturing sector were more likely to provide direct financial savings justifications for pollution prevention and sustainability implementation, whereas the public institutions and other businesses were more likely to also cite social factors.

An analysis of implemented recommendations found that there was a wide variation in implementation rates and the frequency with which benefits persisted beyond one year for different categories of implemented recommendations. For example, preventative maintenance recommendations had the highest rate of implementation and persistence of benefits, whereas off-site recycling recommendations had a relatively low rate of benefit persistence.
