Our biggest completed research project in the Sustainable Value field to date has been the ADVANCE (Application and Dissemination of value-based eco-ratings in financial markets) project. ADVANCE was funded by the European Union. Project partners were the Institute for Futures Studies and Technology Assessment (Germany) and the four eco-rating agencies Scoris (Germany), AVANZI (Italy), GES Invest (Sweden) and the Institute for Strategic Studies (Hungary). One key result of the project was the ADVANCE survey – an assessment of the environmental performance of 65 European companies.

More information on the ADVANCE-project can be found on the project website.
