The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently tightened standards and stepped-up enforcement for certain types of air pollutants, putting pressure on companies in high-emitting sectors to take additional steps to mitigate their output and become more transparent about the substances they release into the atmosphere. Companies that are proactive in developing an effective Environmental Justice plan can comply with these increased regulatory standards and can reap benefits associated with enhanced environmental protection.
In this report, ISS-Corporate breaks down the new regulatory standards and reviews how they are applied and the steps that companies must take to comply with them.
