Miljömässiga

Miljömässig is a Swedish adjective meaning environmentally related or environmentally oriented, i.e. pertaining to the environment and environmental considerations. It is formed from miljö (environment) and the suffix -mässig, which creates adjectives that describe a characteristic. The base form is miljömässig; mil—jömässiga is the plural form used before plural nouns (for example, miljömässiga krav, miljömässiga överväganden).

The term is widely used in policy, business, and planning to describe factors, goals, or actions that take environmental aspects into account. Common collocations include krav (requirements), hänsyn (considerations), konsekvenser (consequences), mål (goals), bedömning (assessment), and åtgärder (measures). For example: “Företaget implementerar miljömässiga åtgärder” or “miljömässiga krav i upphandlingen.”

Miljömässig differs from purely ecological or scientific terms by emphasizing management, policy, or practical considerations rather than describing ecological processes alone. It is often used in contexts related to sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, and public planning, alongside other environmental terms such as hållbarhet (sustainability) and miljöpolicy (environmental policy).
