CLASS_Cluster on Environmental Footprint and Sustainable Development
1. What is the Cluster?
R. It is an inclusive and operational structure that involved all the actors in the field of environmental footprint, sustainable development and in general
environmental sustainability, including economics and society.
2. What is the Cluster audience?
R. Cluster activities are aimed to all public and private entities and all the activities of the agricultural, industrial and services that are committed to the improvement
of the processes of production of goods and services in order to reduce the environmental impact.
3. What is the responsibility of Cluster?
R. The Cluster verifies that the processes and the products are compatible with the resources of the territory, in respect of the social and economic sustainability,
locally and globally, in accordance with the objectives established by the European Committee and the international community and adopted by individual state.
4. How does it work?
R. Cluster develops a central database for the results of environmental footprint evaluations of products. The goal is to produce guidelines, provide support, and
elaborate methodologies to make uniform and easy to interpret the process of environmental evaluations and certifications.
5. What does it calculate?
R. Environmental footprint is the object of Cluster’s evaluation. The environmental footprint is considered from several point of view such as carbon footprint, water
footprint, economic footprint and social footprint.
6. Which are the tools?
R. A central database, open access, for the results of environmental footprint evaluations. The goal is to create an accessible and above-standard instrument in
support of global and diffuse knowledge of the level of sustainability in different sector of the human activity.
7. What is the strategy of action?
R. The strategy is to find the elementary phases inside the process production in its whole. On the other hand, the Cluster studies innovative solutions and
technologies in order to reduce environmental footprint and to improve social and economic sustainability.
8. Who are the actors?
R. University, Research Centers, Spin-Off and also enterprises in order to implement the use of BAT (Best Available Technology), thanks to which it’s possible to
reduce environmental footprint. Also the Regional and local Administrations are involved in the Cluster together with the associated Ministries.
9. In what way does the Cluster broadcast its activity?
R. Thanks to Enterprises, Innovation Poles, Associations and ONLUS involved in sustainability.
10. Which are the training activities?
R. The training section includes: high specialization courses, courses for employees and managers of private companies, seminars and training on international
standards, development of software and informatic tools.

PRIMARY PROJECT GOALS
Development of a central database for the results of
environmental footprint evaluations of products (Carbon and
Water Footprint) performed by projects run in collaboration
with MATTM. The structure of the database and the relative
services will be implemented to provide an easy tool for the
storage and the consultation of environmental assessments,
with the goal of creating an accessible and above-standard
instrument in support of a global and diffuse knowledge of the
level of sustainability in different sectors of the human activity.
Support for the certification process of Carbon and Water
Footprints from third-party entities . The goal is to produce
guidelines, provide support, and elaborate methodologies to
make uniform and easy to interpret the process of
environmental evaluations and certifications.
Research on innovative methodologies for the evaluation of the
impact from human activities (e.g. Carbon Footprint, Water
Footprint, Noise Footprint, health, history and culture, territory,
etc.) and evaluation of innovative mitigation technologies. The
aim of this PG is twofold: on one side an active research effort to
start a standardization process among the numerous sources of
impacts arising from human activities, on the other side to study
and assess the potential benefit of innovative technology to
improve the sustainability of processes.
