The Council has initiated a dialogue with two sectors of the business society with the purpose to raise environmental standards and ensure more efficient use of resources, while taking account of the need for enterprises to improve their performance in increasingly environment-oriented markets. The sectors in focus have been Construction and managment of building and Trade with everyday commodities. A method called back-casting has been used. The dialogues started with formulating a common vision for a sustainable sector in the year 2025. The vision has then formed the basis for the working out of objectives, strategies and plans for action. Reports on the results from the two dialogues have been published in March 2001.
