The Finance & Taxation Working Group of the European Chamber is pleased to invite you to join the upcoming seminar focusing on the enforcement of the Environmental Protection Law.
Chinese Authorities are increasingly shifting their focus from permitting of industrial facilities to ensuring operational compliance. In the last 12 months, over 30,000 violations were issued under the new Environmental Protection Law, with over 6,500 industrial facilities being ordered to suspend or shutdown operations, resulting in business interruption and supply chain disruption. Across the country, environmental regulators have drawn up “Supervision Lists for Key Polluting Enterprises” and published these online. These facilities can expect increased inspections and enforcement actions in 2018. In addition, the Soil Pollution Prevention Law has recently been passed and comes into effect on 1 January 2019, with significant implications for certain industrial facilities. The speakers will provide an update on this new law and what it means for business.
Join us to hear from ERM China how the Chinese government’s crackdown on environmental compliance is likely to play out over 2018 and how you can comply and protect your business.
