Natural & Human Resource Efficiency means using the Earth’s and it’s inhabitants limited resources in a sustainable manner. We depend on natural resources – metals, minerals, fuels, water, land, timber, fertile soil, clean air and biodiversity – for our survival. They all constitute vital inputs that keep our economy functioning.
Natural & Human Resource Efficiency includes reaching the best outcomes in a timely and resourceful manner as well as streamlining basic processes. It can be defined as the effective management of people and materials between organisations or areas. Natural & Human Resource Efficiency helps bridge the gap between performance and the organisation’s strategic objectives which translates to higher results.
Efficiency has value because it allows business, government, other organisations to not only use resources more efficiently but also helps to afford to take the steps towards sustainability, such as sourcing energy, water and materials from renewable and sustainable sources.
