Voluntary Agreements. The concept of voluntary agreements can be broadly interpreted, depending on the level of public-private interaction and the degree of obligation versus voluntariness. The concept range from voluntary, non-binding commitments to legally binding contracts, all with different degrees of negotiation between the partners of the agreement. (Xxxxx and Xxxxxx 2000 p.10ff) Voluntary agreements may just as well be classified according to their role in policy processes. Agreements can be used as a means of action; obtaining sectoral targets that have been nationally set or they can be used for definition of the objectives of policies where the means of achieving the targets are defined already. This type of agreements are sometimes referred to as “negotiated rule-making”, where the industry representatives traditionally advocate less stringent objectives. Agreements can also be used as a temporary policy solution, as a measure while legislation is developed and decided upon. (ibid.) Voluntary agreements may serve as compliments to existing policy measures as well. Advocates mean that voluntary agreements are easier to balance with other economic, social and environmental policy objectives and more cost-efficient than common policy instruments such as taxation and regulation. The voluntary agreements applied in combination with other policy instruments aim at stimulation of pro-active environmental performance or enforce improved environmental commitment in the industry and/or business sector. (IEA 1997 p.11) In the field of energy, voluntary agreements have been applied in addition to or instead of energy taxes and regulations. In Sweden, that has a rather long tradition of energy- and CO2 – taxes, voluntary measures have been tried out as a complement to traditional instruments, in order to reinforce energy efficiency. Other Swedish policy measures in the energy sector consist of CO2-tax, subsidies to research and development, procurement programs, labelling, demonstration and information dissemination. (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 2000 p.17) All types of agreements are not entirely “voluntary”. Some are formulated with binding contracts and incorporates sanctions, others sort under the category of gentleman’s agreements where no enforcement mechanisms for compliance are incorporated. Most voluntary agreements are voluntary entered, however this may be caused by fear of stricter environmental legislation or threat of taxation, like in the case of Denmark. In Denmark voluntar...

Voluntary Agreements. The term “voluntary agreements” refers to a multitude of approaches in environmental policies. In voluntary approaches, firms commit to improve their environmental performance exceeding legal requirements. VAs are being used to encourage holistic, multi-media strategies to environmental protection in contrast to economic and command and control regulations that are often media-specific or focus on end-of-pipe technologies (Khanna, 2001). They can be classified into unilateral commitments being set up by firms, negotiated agreements involving contracts between public authorities and individual firms, and public voluntary schemes consisting of frameworks that are developed by the environmental agency and voluntarily adopted by individual firms (Carraro and Xxxxxxx, 1999).
