Abstract
Currently companies often lack economic incentives to operate more sustainably. This research is focusses on if and how import tariffs or sales taxes could be implemented to stimulate sustainable production. 13 respondents were interviewed to explore the advantages, disadvantages and approaches of using import tariffs, sales taxes and an international ecolabel to stimulate sustainability. In this research many barriers were exposed and discussed, such as the capabilities of the producers, loopholes in regulations and lobbying. In the discussion the intentional approach is supplemented to the new insights. The main insights were that the capabilities of the producers have to be taken into account and instead of creating one international ecolabel, the criteria could be determined by the government and the implementation by private sector.
