Environment and Water Committee

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) advocates for the establishment of the Department of Water and the phased implementation of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ 2016 Department Administrative Order on water quality guidelines and general effluent standards. Strengthened implementation of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act is also imperative for a clean and green Philippines.
