DuPont's green metric

DuPont have a metric which encourages them to create more business value with fewer materials - shareholder value added per pound (SVA/lb).

In part because of such approaches, DuPont managed to save $3bn in energy costs from 1990 to 2005, using 6% less energy even as it raised production by 40%.
