Umweltpakt Bayern
(Bavarian Environmental Pact)
The Bavarian Environmental Pact (Umweltpakt Bayern) is an agreement between the Bavarian Government and the Bavarian Economy. It is based on voluntary participation, personal responsibility and cooperation. In the Environmental Pact, the Bavarian Government and the Bavarian Economy assert their firm conviction that they can help to enhance the protection of natural resources to a greater extent by voluntary and reliable cooperation than would be the case by laws and regulations alone. The focus is on proactive prevention of future environmental impacts and not on their remediation.
