*16th EMAN Conference**
*Material Flow Cost Accounting**
Dresden (Germany), 21 - 22 March 2013
Host: Technische Universität Dresden, Faculty of Business and Economics,
Chair for Environmental Management and Accounting, 01062 Dresden, Germany
Managing material and energy flows has been one of the core issues of
cleaner production in research and practice for decades and consequently
resource and energy efficiency in companies has been improved steadily.
Nevertheless the analyses were often restricted to single projects;
mostly the focus of the research was on physical flows, sometimes
followed by a monetary evaluation. In order to support companies in
better understanding both the environmental and financial consequences
of their material and energy use the International Organization for
Standardization has developed a standard on Material Flow Cost
Accounting (MFCA), that was released in September 2011. In order to
motivate research on this topic the conference theme of The
Environmental and Sustainability Management Accounting Network on 21-22
March 2013, hosted by the Chair of Environmental Management and
Accounting at Technische Universitaet Dresden in Germany will be
“Material Flow Cost Accounting” followed by a special issue of the
Journal of Cleaner Production.
We invite review papers, methodological papers, and case studies that
include but are not restricted to the following topical areas:
• MFCA in supply chains, both upstream and downstream to improve efficiency
• Integration of external costs in MFCA
• Methodological issues of MFCA
• Relationship of MFCA to other instruments of Environmental Management
Accounting
• Reviews of existing MFCA studies
• Case studies in large and small and medium sized companies
• Implementation issues of MFCA
• Mainstreaming of MFCA
Conference submissions are welcome via
