Definition(s)

  • Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a tool for comparing the costs of an action with its benefits in order to aid decisions and choices between alternative courses of action. CBA is useful to green businesses because it enables them to integrate environmental and economic goals in their operations and ensure that environmental and social costs are taken into consideration in their purchasing or investment decisions.
