Fair environmental policy
We want environmental policy to be as ambitious as possible. Environmental policies that balance environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and social justice, with the goal of creating a livable and sustainable future for current and future generations.
We therefore continue to emphasize that policies must be concrete and ambitious, and that it is essential that citizens, businesses, civil society organizations and other stakeholders be involved in developing, implementing and evaluating environmental policies. This is the only way to achieve equitable environmental policies that are ambitious and widely supported.

The issues we work on at FRF are often related to policy. For example, a topic like deposit money is anchored in Dutch policy, policy around single-use plastic packaging is determined at the European level, and some municipalities are independently taking initiative to drive the reuse transition. Regardless of the policy level, we are always committed to environmental policies that are the most ambitious.
Specifically, we want sustainable and equitable environmental policies that recognize that environmental challenges are often accompanied by social inequalities and that it is necessary to integrate these aspects into policies. This is the only way to ensure a fair and sustainable future for both people and the planet. Our focus is therefore on establishing transparent and democratic policy processes that consider the interests of society as a whole. We do this, for example, by challenging the governance of producer responsibility, by looking for the fundamental errors in policymaking, and by integrating inclusiveness and equity issues into all our policy interventions.
