In previous years, the ENVIRONMENT has only four general components, the Land, Air, Water and People. However, due to CLIMATE CHANGE with significant contributions from human activities and urban development, disasters are frequently experienced, particularly in the Philippines. As such, DISASTER RISK REDUCTION and CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION principles have been established.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) have been in the Philippine mainstream for quite some time. The country is an archipelago and inconveniently located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where disasters usually arise, such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons, landslides, earthquakes, floods, etc. Such calamities could pose threats to human safety and health, destroy businesses and properties and bring fatalities. These two concepts have been recently included in the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS) since the last quarter of 2011 under the DENR Memorandum Circular 2011-005 also known as Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in the PEISS.
The PEISS is the notion behind the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), an activity conducted in order to predict a certain project’s beneficial or adverse impacts to the environment and to plan mitigation and enhancements for Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) application.
In line with the implementation of MC 2011-005, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) requires that EIA shall be included with discussions on DRR and CCA. Triple i Consulting, Inc. which is based in Makati City has a team of environmental experts that help clients to comply with different environmental needs and to inject DRR and CCA in all environmental dealings.
Understanding the environment is easy, but dealing with all its aspects and technicality is a lot of hard work that includes knowledge, expertise and patience. Given these, people involved in businesses which are required to secure ECC may spend too much time and effort, which may cause loss of company funds and man-hours which may be used instead for business development activities.
Triple i Consulting’s line of environmental expertise consists of Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) and Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC); Air Permit to Operate (APTO); Discharge Permit (DP), and Hazardous Waste Generator’s ID (HWID) applications. The company’s environmental experts have significant years of experience in handling different environment, health and safety (EHS) requirements. With our vast knowledge and skills Triple i can assist you with any environmental concerns you and your company may be facing.
