Hello appreciated reader and friends @hive and StemSocial.
Hola apreciados lectores y amigos de @hive y la comunidad StemSocial.
To begin with, I would like to point out that Ecoefficiency originated in 1992, proposed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), with the aim of promoting and facilitating environmental protection in conjunction with increased productivity (Figure 1).

What is ecoefficiency?
¿Qué es la ecoeficiencia?
“It reflects the issue of sustainability of resource utilization in manufacturing. Ecoefficiency is achieved by the delivery of competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and improve the quality of life while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life cycle to a level in line with the earth’s estimated carrying capacity”.
“Refleja la cuestión de la sostenibilidad de la utilización de recursos en la fabricación. La ecoeficiencia se consigue mediante la entrega de bienes y servicios a precios competitivos que satisfagan las necesidades humanas y mejoren la calidad de vida, al tiempo que se reducen progresivamente los impactos ecológicos y la intensidad del uso de los recursos a lo largo del ciclo de vida hasta un nivel acorde con la capacidad de carga estimada de la Tierra.”

A priori, the above is attractive from an environmental and economic point of view, and has been promoted for almost three decades by prestigious public and private organisations in different countries, with successful experiences, but for many it is neither a priority nor obligatory, so that the reduction of impacts and deterioration of the environment continues, with a growing trend.
How can it be implemented?
¿Cómo ponerla en práctica?
To be eco-efficient, it is necessary to use methodologies, regulations, procedures and techniques that are consistent with its foundations, i.e. that contribute to obtaining more and better results in a responsible manner, i.e. with less socio-environmental impact.

From my own understanding of this post, ecoefficiency is the same as using the planet's resources in a sustainable way. I stand to be corrected though.
Hello, ecoefficiency is an expression of sustainability, they are in the same direction, the harmonisation of socio-environmental and economic dimensions considering also productivity.
Cheers
