Abstract:

Evaluation practices are widely applied by collaborative initiatives. Preliminary results show that based on their business structure, preferences for certain evaluation tools can differ. Currently the role of the government and public institutions in this field is rather limited, although some opportunities arise. Research results confirm the importance of trustworthy partners in the creation of transparency regarding sustainability values. The information asymmetry in the market needs to be resolved and citizens are in need of a clear description of the content of ‘sustainability’.
