Complying with Environmental Legislation
Compliance with environmental legislation is not something your business can opt in or out off – it’s a must do. If your business is prosecuted for breaking environmental legislation – regarding waste, pollution, air emissions, hazardous substances - the consequences can be severe for you and your business. Depending on the crime the punishment can be a fine, a prison sentence or even the business being closed down.
Legislation has been put in place to help protect the natural environment and if you commit an offence you may have a significant negative impact on the environment.
You are likely to receive negative publicity, clients may cancel current contracts because they may not want to be linked to a business with a negative image, you may find it harder to gain new contracts, and you will loss your Environmental Management Certification which is important in securing new contracts.
