Corrosion cost and corrosion management questionnaire

Corrosion weighs heavily on the global economy – heavier than we might think at first glance. The IMPACT study (NACE, 2016) estimated that 3.8% of our gross domestic product worldwide is spent on preventing or repairing corrosion. Estimates for the cost of corrosion amount to 500 billion EUR for the European Union alone. For Flanders, Eurostat data indicate a GDP of 269.88 billion EUR, leading to a corrosion cost of 10.26 billion EUR and potential savings of 2.5 billion. However, many companies are hardly aware of the money that can be saved in their fight against corrosion.  

This questionnaire consists of three parts: a general identification of your sector and company, questions on the way your company deals with corrosion and questions regarding how much corrosion impacts your company budget.

Please note that the information you provide will only be used in an anonymised form for scientific research in the frame of the SOCORRO project.
