Green business in flux

This project examines the environmental products and services offered by Finnish companies. In addition, trade barriers that may have an impact on the market success of Finnish products and solutions are mapped in export countries. The project also assesses what kinds of opportunities and risks might be associated with the classification of renewable products and their categories.

From the perspective of policy preparation and investments, it is important to understand what kind of opportunities and risks related to rapid changes in the eco-friendliness of products and their classification are linked to the transition to a more green economy. This report supports the work of business and trade policy it defines and pursues Finland’s economic interests.

 

The project answers the following research questions:

  • What are environmental products?
  • What is Finland’s offering in terms of environmental products?
  • What products and sectors do Finnish companies specialize in?
  • What kind of customs duties and trade barriers apply to these products?
  • In which markets are trade barriers placed?

 

The project is coordinated by the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke)
