Partnership
The Swedish Life Cycle Center plays an important role for all its actors within the Center by fostering networks, enhancing competence, and influencing future development. How the partnership is used depends on the partner’s choice. However, many partners highly value direct access to the network, research, and high-level discussions. Others actively participate in working groups that align with their organization’s agenda. For some organizations, the Swedish Life Cycle Center has been and continues to be crucial to their ongoing efforts in improving life cycle practices and capacity building.
The Center hosts a dialogue group with nine government agencies in Sweden, collaborates with small and medium-sized companies through formal letters of collaboration, and establishes collaborative partnerships with other life cycle organizations at a global level.
