Environment Policy Committee

Ibec positions on environmental issues are developed through our Environment Policy Committee (EPC). The EPC meets quarterly and tracks environmental policy and regulatory developments at national, European and international level which may impact on the business community. The focus of the committee is to ensure the achievement of environmental objectives in a manner that supports the competitiveness of Irish business. Environmental concerns remain high on the business agenda. The committee is comprised of representatives from all sectors of Ibec membership and it includes both the users and providers of environmental infrastructure and services.

The aim of the committee is to ensure the achievement of environmental objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner which supports the competitiveness of Irish business. The committee:

is active on issues such as waste, water, pollution prevention and control and sustainable development.
acts as a platform through which member companies engage with key decision-makers and bodies such as the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, the Environmental Protection Agency and local authorities.
is a forum through which member companies share good practice related to environmental protection.

The agenda and supporting documents for each meeting are available for committee members to download.
