The Business in Ireland – Enterprise Sustainability series brings together a range of enterprise statistics to examine how businesses in Ireland are contributing to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. It provides a broader view of business performance beyond traditional financial measures, highlighting how enterprises are responding to sustainability challenges and opportunities. 
Through the lens of sustainability, we examine topics such as:

  • greenhouse gas emissions
  • energy use
  • innovation
  • digital technologies
  • circular economy practices
  • resource efficiency
  • employment
  • social sustainability.
