Preface
The environmental literature recognizes the importance of involving multiple stakeholders in the environmental policy development process. Stakeholders include a diverse set of individuals and organizationslocal citizens and community groups, consumers, environmental groups, industry, individual companies, shareholders, all levels of government and tribes, etc. In turn, each of these will have various perspectives on environmental risk, priorities, costs and benefits, etc.
One area of environmental policy that has not received a lot of emphasis in the past is technology innovation. Because of this, there is limited information on how one of these key stakeholdersindustryviews environmental research and technology innovation. This report summarizes information about the following:
How research-intensive companies are rethinking investments in environmental technologies; where these companies are likely to invest, where they will not invest, and where opportunities for public-private sector partnerships are; and
What federal policies the case-study companies would like to see to promote investments in environmental research and technology.
The information contained in this report is a synthesis of the literature on research and development (R&D) management, environmental R&D, and technology innovationintegrated with a series of interviews with senior environmental research and technology and environmental, health, and safety personnel in four research-intensive companies. It should be useful for federal, state, local, and tribal environmental and R&D policymakers and scientists; industrial managers and planners; and university researchers.
Originally created by Congress in 1991 as the Critical Technologies Institute and renamed in 1998, the Science and Technology Policy Institute is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the National Science

Foundation and managed by RAND. The institute's mission is to help improve public policy by conducting objective, independent research and analysis on policy issues that involve science and technology. To this end, the institute
supports the Office of Science and Technology Policy and other Executive Branch agencies, offices, and councils
helps science and technology decisionmakers understand the likely consequences of their decisions and choose among alternative policies
helps improve understanding in both the public and private sectors of the ways in which science and technology can better serve national objectives.
Science and Technology Policy Institute research focuses on problems of science and technology policy that involve multiple agencies. In carrying out its mission the institute consults broadly with representatives from private industry, institutions of higher education, and other nonprofit institutions.
