Forum – Helping companies with environmental compliance

Environmental Forum
Chamber members from industry are invited to join the Environmental Forum, which meets monthly. Meetings are held to assist industry and smaller companies with environmental compliance. The Ekurhuleni Metro representatives regularly attend the meetings.  The Forum attendees and the Metro officials have built a good relationship in that all are informed of the regulatory processes and have open communication channels with the people that review and issue licenses.
 
From the Forum discussions it is evident that the ever changing legal climate is placing increasing pressure on companies to comply.  The cost of compliance and increasing demands on environmental professionals to manage compliance at their respective workplaces were also highlighted.  Businesses across the Ekurhuleni are encouraged to attend these meetings seeing that compliance affects us all and no one should be caught unaware of the requirements.
