Environmental Business Council - A Forum of the CIANJ
Since its inception, the EBC’s mission has been to recognize the important economic role the environmental industry plays within the state, to demonstrate that environmental issues are also business issues, and to teach the business and regulatory communities that environmental responsibility and economic growth are fundamentally related.
The EBC Environmental Roundtable meets every other month to discuss relevant environmental issues, regulatory changes and new developments that may impact our members provided by our sub-committees which focus on: Regulatory Affairs, Brownfields & Site Remediation, Natural Resource Damages, Water, Air, Environmental Technology, Sustainability, Energy, Enforcement & OSHA News and Regulations.
CIANJ member companies are invited to send Executives, Directors, Management and individual technical and compliance personnel to their bimonthly meetings to enhance their understanding of current issues and participate in advocacy efforts as well as assist with environmental compliance matters both functionally and legislatively.
Numerous Past Presidents of AHMP-NJ attend these meetings regularly and plan to make this valuable knowledge resource available to the general AHMP-NJ membership community on an ongoing basis.
