Guidelines for Sustainable Industrial Areas (SIA)

The guidelines are directed to industrial park operators, planners of industrial areas, public administrators in charge of regulating industrial areas and experts advising on industrial development. The guidelines can only provide a first overview of what sustainability in an industrial area is all about. They want to highlight the most important sustainability aspects for planning and operating an industrial area or for elaborating a legal framework for sustainable industrial area development.
This needs of course further specification and precise definitions in particular if developing
-a legal framework for sustainable industrial areas,
-a national standard for sustainable industrial areas,
-indicators to monitor the fulfilment of the standard and
-rules for designing and operating sustainable industrial areas.
