6. WHat is CEEM
Central Environmental
and Energy Management
as a Kit for Survival
Ceem -Central
Environmental and Energy
Management as a Kit for
Survival- is a cooperation
project funded by the ERDF
under the Central Europe
Operative program started
in November 2012 and
lasting until November 2014.
Protecting environment is particularly relevant for Central
Europe where the ongoing economic catching-up process brings about
new opportunities as well as threats for the environment
It involves 12 partners from 5 EU countries:
Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Czech
Republic.
The starting point for the project is the
consideration that the involved Central
European Regions are characterized by a
medium-high economic activity mainly performed by micro and SMEs, belonging for
the most to the traditional industrial sectors
(i.e. construction & building, food, manufacturing, automotive).
CEEM what
These companies have a strong impact on
the Central Europe environment; thus a key
factor for a sustainable economic development of this region is the implementation
of environmentally friendly technologies in the goods’ life cycle.
4
CEEM aims at supporting environmentally friendly technologies and activities in the program area by offering to companies operational methods, good practices
and an IT tool to match jointly environmental
positive performance towards business
improvement. In order to reach this goal,
the communication of social and environmental advantages of green economy, the
implementation of cleaner production and
consumption patterns and the involvement
of public and private stakeholders and
policy makers are the way CEEM aims to
give its contribution towards the achievements set out in Europe 2020 Strategy.

7. Growth from knowledge
Create an inclusive society
Build a greener, internationally competitive economy
Europe 2020 addresses the shortcomings of our
growth model creating the conditions for more
sustainable and more inclusive development
CEEM will give an important contribution to
key documents definition like regional/national policies on issues about environment taxes, emissions trading, ecoincentives for companies, etc. After that
these topics will be discussed on territorial and
transnational level in the CEEM laboratories.
The project will bring closer the harmonization of the standards and incentive
schemes enhancing the internal integration
of the Central Europe cooperation area.
This way CEEM will follow the lesson for
EU2020: “Investing in cleaner, low carbon
technologies will help our environment, contribute to fighting climate change and create new
business and employment opportunities1”.

CEEM what
Europe 2020:
the strategy
for the next
decade
Europe 2020 aims to overcome the current
economic downturn and prepare the EU
economy for the next decade, by shifting
the focus on a trio of interlinked priorities:
growing from knowledge, creating an
inclusive society and building a greener,
internationally competitive economy.
CEEM project is going towards these EU
goals in order to contribute to European
development, starting from the Central
Europe area. Project partners will involve
local and state authorities (decision makers)
into project activities, committing them in the
project’s results sustainability.

8. CEEM GOALS
IMPROVING companies
ENVIRONMENTAL
PERFORMANCE
Ceem aims at enhancing
Central Europe companies
Eco-Energy performance.
CEEM GOALS
By addressing a sample of Central European
companies mainly from the traditional strategic sectors (i.e. construction & building, food,
manufacturing, automotive), the project aims
at increasing their awareness about environmental issues and will promote the adoption
of environmentally friendly technologies that
help productive activities being eco-efficient
and reducing their energy costs.
6
SAVING ENERGY
& NATURAL
RESOURCES
IMPLEMENTING
INNOVATIVE METHODS
OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Ceem aims at reducing
Energy waste.
INTRODUCING
INNOVATIVE
METHODOLOGIES
OF ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
Spreading innovative
methods of energy
management.
The increased responsibility of industrial
companies towards the environment will
lead to important savings of energy and
natural resources, to reduce industrial
waste, air and water pollution and traffic. The
ICT tool (3EMT) developed by the project
will help companies to improve their environmental performance and energy efficiency
by adopting positive behaviors, technologies
and innovative management procedures.
Also employees, suppliers and all company’s
stakeholders will be sensitized on the issue
of cleaner production and consumption
of goods, thus to increase the demand for
green goods in Central Europe and establish
a virtuous circle.
Eco-Energy experts from Central Europe
regions will be involved in the project. Their
task will be to mentor companies taking
part into the pilot action, how to adopt new
measures to make more with less energy.
The Eco-Energy experts will help entrepreneurs to implement ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ in
their current energy management patterns.
The starting point for these actions will be
the Assessment Reports generated by the
3EMT tool per each company that will fulfill
the online self-assessment questionnaire.
A performing toolkit
for competitiveness.
The development of an easy toolkit allowing enterprises to self-assess their eco-energy management performances and giving them back
a tailored strategy for its improvement constitutes an important element of innovation for the
internal management. Companies will learn innovative methodologies of environmental management by introducing tools and standards
acknowledged at EU and International level
(under EU-Regulation EMAS II, ISO 14001, European Eco-Label, ISO 14064, the Green Key,
and others). Ceem toolkit will give companies
the chance to discover their benchmark per field
and region. Moreover it will suggest them how to
reach greener production processes, by reducing supply chains, CO2 emission, waste.

9. Roadmap to hit the mark
The 3EMTool
Firstly, a LCA-based ICT tool, called 3EMT
(Eco-Energy-Efficiency Management Tool)
will be developed and made available for free
to companies through the CEEM website
(www.ceeemproject.eu). The 3EMT tool will
allow companies to self-assess their green performance thanks to a questionnaire. It will also:
• let them benchmark with the other Central European enterprises involved in the
pilot phase;
• send to each company that fulfills the questionnaire a customized Assessment Report;
• provide further services and facilities, like a
list of Eco-Energy experts sorted per geographic area.
The 3EMT tool will lead to an increased awareness in industry managers on cleaner production and energy efficient consumption during
the production cycle.
2
Pilot Phase
Secondly, Ceem partners will identify
500 companies in the Central Europe
regions willing to be involved in the pilot
phase. These companies, operating in traditional industrial sectors, will be asked
to complete the online self-assessment
questionnaire. Their answers will constitute the base for the benchmarking across
Central Europe.
Companies taking part into the pilot phase
will complete the questionnaire eventually with the help of CEEM partners or Eco
Energy experts and will receive a customized Assessment Report sizing their environmental performance and highlighting
strengths and weaknesses.
4
Involve the policy makers
3
Case Studies
100 companies out of those that will test
the 3EMT, will be selected to step up their
“green print”. They will complete the 3EMT
suggested itinerary and receive the help of
the Eco Energy Ceem experts to implement the measures of improvement listed
by the Assessment Report. Critical issues
and positive results will be tracked by Ceem
partners and be used as case histories to
promote green production and consumption processes across Central Europe.
The 100 case studies will be precious for
the project partners and stakeholders to
enhance the 3EMT tool, to design further
actions and strengthen the efforts towards
environmental sustainable production processes in Central European regions.
Finally, the policy actors at all levels (national, regional and local) will be involved.
Case history and 3EMT tool functions
and positive impacts will be illustrated in a
Transnational Strategy Document to be
adopted by regional and national authorities
responsible for energy, environment and industrial policies. CEEM will also establish 5
Territorial Laboratories on regional basis,
to discuss eco-energy industrial issues at local level and 1 Transnational Laboratory. It
will yearly summon Central Europe authorities with the aim to become a permanent
policy forum between companies and
policy makers on energy and environmental issues in industry.

least 500 companies, with their CEOs, R&D
managers and workers. Increased awareness
on the issue of sustainable industrial production will spread the economic and social
advantages of green economy.
What does it mean for EU citizens?
It means securing for the next generations
a more resource efficient Europe, able to
grow and create jobs and major economic
opportunities for its citizens, according to the
outputs set out in the Europe 2020 strategy2.
SMEs play a big role and for this reason are
the priority CEEM target: they are potential
polluters, they consume lots of energy and
raw materials, their needs (goods delivery;
supply chain) influence train and road traffic.
By helping enterprises in improving their
environmental performance and energy
efficiency management, CEEM project will
foster a durable change towards an ecofriendly development model. 3EMT tool is
designed to be scalable and allow companies’ benchmarking across the whole EU
in the future, as well as the experience of
the ECO Points and Territorial Labs could
be repeated and perfected on EU level, to
guarantee the policy know-how exchange.
