Switching the angle of concern from the most usual one, our paper focuses rather on the “external” effects of the economic activities. It aims at reconsidering the useful effects of productive activities by applying specific reinterpretation of usual data, having in mind the general economic-social welfare. Methodologically, the indicators we propose for this purpose use simple ratios, logarithmic summaries and some simple summation, and certain completions, in an original approach. The analysis of the economic activity is proposed in terms of certain effects on the natural environment and on the economic and social environment, upstream and downstream of the studied activity (different than the effects on the economic entity itself), directly targeted. Other connections in the systemic environment are also concerned, suggestions for more applied researches being provided.
