Holding companies liable for their violations of environmental legislation is widely spread at present, as a result of the state’s decision that it will actively seek to protect the environment.  That is why a businessman should consider environmental requirements at the earliest stages of his project.

Violation of environmental legislation may result in potential civil, administrative or even criminal liability.  With the correct approach to environmental legislation compliance, it is possible to avoid enormous fines from tax and environmental authorities.

As the saying goes, “A miser pays twice”; by paying no attention to environmental legislation compliance, you risk not only paying huge fines but also negatively affecting your company’s image, which is the main ingredient of success for your business.

What should you know about environmental requirements for your business? What kind of liability does the legislation provide in the case of non compliance with the environmental requirements? How may a company avoid sanctions for violations of environmental legislation? 

You can find answers for these and many other questions from the Environmental Law Department of Grata Law firm.
