The indicators represent one of the four pillars of our environmental reporting, and are prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act. The Environmental Indicators in Slovenia website enables users to browse among 180 indicators. They are based on numerical data and they indicate the state, characteristics and trends of environmental development in Slovenia. They are prepared using a systematic approach based on data and monitoring, as shown in the information pyramid.

More than three-quarters of the apartments/houses were built before 1990, and the majority, nearly half, between 1961 and 1990. The Slovenian housing stock is therefore old and in need of renovation; in their renovation lies the greatest potential for reducing environmental impacts and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the share of households with low incomes - i.e. those who are also expected to invest in apartment/house renovations - is around a quarter of all households.

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
