ESSC-D supports the German government’s resource efficiency program


The Six Sigma Club’s methodological expertise can achieve resource conservation goals by increasing efficiency


The European Six Sigma Club (ESSC-D) is involved in the German resource efficiency program “ProgRess”, which was adopted by the German Federal Cabinet at the end of February 2012. The program serves to promote the sustainable use and protection of natural resources. It describes new approaches and measures to increase resource efficiency in production and aims to make consumption more resource-efficient. It relies on the cooperation of voluntary initiatives from industry to expand efficiency consulting for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is where the ESSC-D would like to provide support. “When it comes to increasing efficiency, there is no way around the ESSC-D. It is therefore very important to bring the Six Sigma Club’s methodological expertise to the topic of resource conservation,” said Dr. Stephan Back, who was involved in the development of “ProgRess” on behalf of the ESSC-D.


The publisher of “ProgRess” is the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The program can be downloaded at www.bmu.de.
