Based on these estimates an independent auditor consolidates and analyses the submitted material, produces a report that reflects the ranking, and finally the report is circulated to the individual members.
In South Africa, Danfoss focuses mainly on water and waste water, particularly desalination and water purification and mining of nickel, copper, iron ore and coal.
