Welcome to Green Advocate’s first issue!
Green Advocate is the Environmental
Compliance Assistance Center’s (ECAC)
first
e-magazine.
Previously
conceptualized as a newsletter, the idea of
delivering an interactive magazine was
born.
As an assistance center, we feel the
importance of bringing the updates to
you first hand. What’s so different about
this e-magazine and going to the EMB
ECAC website?
Green Advocate brings you a concise summary of EMB news, updates, events,
new policies and regulations at the convenience of its compactness. Bring Green
Advocate with you everywhere and access them on your phone, iPADs or tablets.
You also have the option to subscribe to get the latest issues the moment it
drops.
Why ‘Green Advocate’? We associate the color green with the feeling of
renewal, rebirth, harmony and growth. It is also the first color we pick whenever
we think of the environment. As for our center’s advocacy, The Environmental
Management Bureau’s mission is to protect, restore and enhance environmental
quality towards good public health, environmental integrity and economic vitality
and in line with this, it is the Environmental Compliance Assistance Center’s goal
to assist various sectors of the Philippine industry in their environmental
compliance. It is also our goal to influence MSMEs, LGUs, and the education
sector to adopt the green advocacy as their social responsibility and to be our
partners in the safe-guarding of our environment while we walk the path to a
more advanced Philippines.
Happy Reading!
