Go Green with TWIN 4.0’s Audit Tool

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the TWIN 4.0 Environmental Impact Audit Tool ! This valuable resource consisting of several environmental impact calculators and a methodology, has been developed by a an international team of engineers, environmental consultants, IT experts, and economists from Italy, Spain, Romania, Cyprus, and Bulgaria and represents the first result of the TWIN 4.0 project.

To ensure its practicality and relevance, we directly engaged with the needs of the project end-users – manufacturing SMEs. Through a series of interviews with SME owners, managers, and production unit heads across partner countries, we identified key areas of concern and priority for environmental management.

The TWIN 4.0 Environmental Impact Audit Tool and methodology aim to empower SMEs with a comprehensive set of user guidelines, recommendations supported by the most relevant environmental regulations and standards, both at the EU and national levels (in RO, BG, CY, IT, and ES).
