- Identifies barriers to performance improvement by the sectors and, in conjunction with trade groups and other stakeholders, explores innovative ways to overcome those barriers.
- Works with EPA programs, regions and state & local governments to make changes in regulatory-permitting-enforcement-assistance programs that will help businesses in the sectors improve performance.
- Analyzes sectors' environmental impacts and performance improvement opportunities.
- Measures sector-wide environmental performance and reports on the environmental progress of participating sectors.
