Environmental Compliance

Environmental compliance is the conformance to environmental laws, regulations, permits, and standards governing an organisation's operations. In India, this includes Consent to Establish (CTE), Consent to Operate (CTO), Environmental Clearance (EC), Forest Clearance, CRZ clearance, and compliance with CPCB/SPCB norms. In the EU, it covers the Industrial Emissions Directive, REACH, and national environmental permits. Non-compliance risks prosecution, fines, operational shutdown, and reputational damage.
