Green Industry for Low Carbon Economy: Palm Oil Green Assessment Tool

Abstract The environmental global issues inspire the industries including the palm oil industry, to reduce the environmental harmful effect and save the energy usage by green practice. However, the specific tools to assess the green level for the palm oil industry are currently not available. This paper presents a new systematic tool, known as Green Industrial Performance Scorecard (GIPS) to create green industry profiling besides highlighting the potential improvement of green performance through visualisation. GIPS comprises of five green components i.e energy, water, waste, soil management and air. Palm oil mill (POM) is selected as a case study to evaluate the applicability of GIPS.
