3.1: Private Sector

Improved private sector environmental performance in North America

Other Information:

The Parties intend to focus initially on improving the environmental performance capacity of small and medium-size enterprises by conducting activities that engage key industrial sectors and/or supply chains in activities that improve their environmental performance. The Parties recognize that successfully achieving this objective requires the active involvement of private industry in promoting the adoption of cleaner production practices and technologies, and therefore could carefully consider how to replicate successful private-sector environmental performance improvement initiatives previously conducted in the North American region...

Stakeholder(s):

• Private Sector


• SMEs


• Greening Experts: Engaging experts and strengthening information and data-sharing to assess and promote private sector environmental performance in North America supports the Strategic Objective.


• CEC Parties: The Parties could focus on opportunities that receive high-level, private-sector buy-in, serve as models for other enterprises, mobilize additional resources, and establish long-lasting partnerships between North American organizations to share best practices and enable supply-chain linkages.
