The first meeting with the resource group was held on 14 December 2011, starting with a presentation of the project and its tentative results. From the perspective of the project leader, Beate Sjåfjell, the first meeting was a success in light of the goal with setting up the resource group; namely having a forum for insightful discussions that will give the project feedback and constructive criticism from a practical perspective.
Two other plenary meetings will be set up in 2013. The resource group is also encouraged to give feedback and share insights by e-mail and separate meetings will be set up with members of the resource group who wish to give feedback or discuss the project with Norwegian Sustainable Companies team members.
