ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Resources

Ongoing industrialization and population growth are resulting in continuously increasing demand for natural resources. A large proportion of the goods we manufacture still wind up in landfill sites or incinerators after use. In product manufacturing, the closing of the material flow cycle is of central importance. Natural resources can be divided into renewables and non-renewables. From a sustainability perspective, the increased use of renewable resources should be favored

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Water

Fresh water is essential to all forms of life on our planet, but the world's population is growing at a rate of 78m annually. Population growth increases water consumption and requires the expansion of water infrastructures. Fresh water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource and therefore an economic good. Existing water infrastructures are in many cases obsolete and in need of replacement. Global warming is also having an increasingly negative effect on scarce supplies of fresh water.

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets have become increasingly important in terms of their contribution to global GDP as well as their market capita-lization. Longterm forecasts predict that by 2050, the combined GDP of the seven largest Emerging Markets (E7) will be twice as high as that of the G7 industrialized countries. The financial crisis has boosted this transformation process even further

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Pacific

Compared internationally the pacific region shows relatively good resistance to the crisis, but is also affected by the general uncertainty (primarily by the euro crisis) and by the weakening of the global economy. The individual countries though do not show the same picture.

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Wind

Unlike fossil fuels, wind energy is infinitely available and does not involve any recurring fuel costs. Wind energy brings a host of ecological benefits. Including the CO2 costs of fossil-fired power plants, electricity produced from wind energy is already competitive in many instances. Wind energy also has a dampening effect on electricity spot prices. Wind energy's share of global electricity production is likely to be between 15 and 20% by 2050, depending on the scenario.

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Solar

Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is infinitely available and the amount transmitted is equivalent to 5,000 times the world's energy consumption. Solar energy is available on a decentralized basis, consequently requiring less transfer capacity. The current decade will see photovoltaics achieve network parity (when production costs for solar power are the same as the cost of electricity from the grid). The share of solar technologies in the energy mix in year 2040is forecasted at up to 20% (a growth factor of 320).

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Europe

Europe is challenged in several ways. Without political integration the euro is threatened to break apart, the aging of society sets the public finances under additional pressure, and globally competition is increasing from emerging economies. In Europe, however, many well-armed companies are located which can benefit from regional and global developments

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Energy Production

Focus on utility companies that focus exclusively or predominantly on producing energy from renewable sources. Energy production that has a significantly reduced impact on the climate and environment. By the middle of the 21st century, renewables could account for 50% of energy consumption. Sustainable energy production plants are frequently decentralized in nature, resulting in lower transfer losses and/or the simultaneous use of electricity and heat. Power stations which use renewable energy sources have either no fuel costs or low fuel cost

ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Mobility

Mobility is a basic need of any society and essential to its development. The transportation sector is responsible for around 25% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and for other negative effects on the environment and society. Sustainable solutions include the electrification of powertrains, promotion of public and non-motorized transportation, as well as a reduction in private travel in combination with alternative forms of mobility and intelligent mobility concepts. Efficiency improvements and greening are bringing a reduction in environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions.

MeinIndex Sustainable Energy Efficiency

About 60% of the primary energy that we use is wasted because it is lost at some point in the transformation chain. Major potential exists to improve efficiency in terms of buildings, industrial processes, mobility, lighting and consumer goods. Improved energy efficiency is a low-cost way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As well as being good for the environment, measures to increase energy efficiency are also financially attractive due to the cost savings obtained. Both nationally and internationally, the need for greater energy efficiency is increasingly supported and accepted at a political level
