Abstract in Danish
Formålet med projektet har været at undersøge                        mulighederne for at anvende begrebet økologisk råderum til at sætte mål for bæredygtig udvikling i virksomheder.  Metoden - "ecospace audit" er blevet testet på to virksomheder - Ecover - et belgisk firma, der fremstiller økologiske vaskemidler og den europæiske afdeling af Xerox, der fremstiller kopimaskiner, printere, fax maskiner osv.   Metoden beskriver den trinvise proces, som kan hjælpe virksomheder til at vurdere og sætte mål for deres indsats udfra tankegangen om det økologiske råderum.
