Environmental Compliance
Environmental compliance refers to the adherence to the relevant laws, regulations, standards, and policies related to the environment under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and others rules and notification issued by the Government from time-to-time. It also entails obtaining permits or licenses for certain operations and preparing for the relevant inspections and audits.
Environmental compliance is not only a legal requirement, but also has significant benefits such as –
- reducing the risk of penalties and fines,
- improving public image and reputation,
- reducing the overall environmental impact of operations
- aiding the sustainability of the company, and
- helping the organization adapt to changes in regulations and technologies.
