In the last 12 months, over 30,000 violations were issued under the new Environmental Protection Law in China, 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. In Shanghai alone, over 1,000 companies were named as “Key Polluting Enterprises” in January 2018. Half of these companies are either foreign JVs or wholly owned foreign enterprises. These facilities can expect increased inspections and enforcement actions in 2018. For the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated area, with the release of the Action Plan on Air Pollution Control and Prevention During 2017-2018 Autumn and Winter Seasons in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integrated Area in August 2017, almost no facilities were operating during the heating season 2017-2018 in the area.
It is essential that enterprises adjust their internal compliance system with more focus on environmental protection and come up with solutions to mitigate the risks arising from stricter government enforcement. The Chamber is pleased to invite you to this seminar with experts from Environmental Resources Management (ERM) who will explain 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.
