ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY SERVICES

The Issues

Environmental legislative and regulatory constraints placed on corporations and public sector organizations are becoming increasingly complex. Effectively tracking legislation and new regulations is a significant management challenge.

• Environmental legislation and regulations are changing continuously, making it difficult to manage their impact on operations.
• Many organizations cannot afford to hire and maintain in-house environmental staff to monitor and analyze legislation.
• The effect of environmental legislation and regulatory actions on long-range operations and budget planning activities is frequently overlooked.
• Many organizations do not fully understand the impact that current or pending environmental legislation or regulatory actions can have on the current or future activities.
• The web of Federal and Provincial regulation is becoming more complex and burdensome and can be a barrier to inter-Provincial operations.

The Implications

Failure to understand and comply with environmental laws can expose corporations to significant health, criminal and financial risks.

• If the potential impact of environmental legislation is unknown, major decisions may be made without essential information.
• Corporations, as well as individual managers, can be prosecuted for civil and criminal acts for failing to comply with environmental regulations.
• Unplanned compliance costs, legal fees, fines and clean-up costs can have a catastrophic impact on a corporation’s financial position.
• Corporations are forced to take a reactive, rather than a proactive approach to complying with environmental regulations.
• Early information regarding proposed legislation or changes to regulations may enable corporations to avoid new more onerous requirements.
