Miljødialog mellem den internationale detailhandel og deres leverandører

Bilag 1. Survey til den internationale detailhandel

I dette bilag er spørgsmålene til den internationale detailhandel gengivet.

Spørgeskemaet blev sendt elektronisk til nedenstående detailhandelsvirksomheder og efterfølgende sendt til dem på papir (dog ikke til virksomheder, der havde afvist at deltage i sådanne undersøgelser, hvilket 6 virksomheder svarede):

To The Buying Department

This is a survey of the environmental dialogue between the international retailers and their suppliers. CASA is conducting the survey for The Danish Ministry of the Environment.
The survey has been submitted to 50 major retail chains across the world.

The survey will be used in a research study of the environmental requirements that the large retail chains make to their suppliers. The title of the study is "Environmental information in the product chain - environmental dialogue between international retailers and producers of food". The aim of the survey is not of a commercial nature but will be applied to the preparation of a pro-active environmental strategy for agriculture.

All answers will be handled with discretion, and only be presented in general statistics. The names of the senders will therefore not be traceable in the material.

The survey covers food only and does not include non-food products. The survey includes 17 questions which will take approx. 10 minutes to answer. Please feel free to add your own comments where possible. Please, return the questionnaire in the envelope provided by CASA (thank you for the postage stamp of your country).

To thank you for responding to the questionnaire we will forward a summary of the survey, when it is completed in the autumn of 2004.

If you have any further questions about the survey, please contact Mette Lise Jensen, Environmental advisor and consultant at the project, at mlj@casa-analyse.dk /+45 33 32 05 55 or Mariane Hounum, Project manager from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, at mth@mst.dk

Thank you!

Yours Sincerely
