摘要：

The organizers of this discussion meeting have aimed deliberately to review the scope for clean technology in activities which span both the private sector and the public sector. Dr Ekins has analysed the wider aspects and implications of the economics of clean businesses in the preceding paper. This paper will survey some of the factors which are considered by companies and public utilities when justifying financial investment in selected programmes designed to improve environmental performance. Accountability demands, in both the private and public sector, that there should both be a return on each investment though the yardsticks might differ.
