The Group brings together a broad range of players who all believe that:
- Our long-term economic success depends on a healthy environment and the sustainable use of natural resources.
- At the company level, good environmental performance translates to tangible economic benefits and is a major source of competitive advantage.
- Better environmental regulation creates new business and employment opportunities in a fiercely competitive global marketplace.
- Policy appraisals must accurately assess environmental costs and benefits.
- The better regulation agenda must not lose sight of the need to maximise outcomes in the drive to reduce unnecessary costs.
