Voluntary agreement

In the context of climate change, the term “voluntary agreements” is used for emissions or energy use reduction agreements of a voluntary nature, often concluded between public and private sectors. Under such voluntary agreements, organisations, companies, institutions, administration agencies etc. agree to meet certain reduction targets exceeding what the respective entity is expected to achieve under existing binding laws.
