Environmental Laws at a Glance: Responding to Corporate Environmental Regulations
 |
Description
Book Introduction
As the importance of environmental issues such as carbon neutrality, circular economy, and ESG grows, companies are prioritizing environmental risk management.
However, environmental law is a vast area consisting of approximately 85 laws and over 2,000 subordinate statutes.
For environmental practitioners who are not lawyers, the system is very difficult to understand and grasp.
This book, which started from this problem awareness, has the greatest characteristic of being written so that even the general public and business practitioners who have no experience with law can easily understand environmental law.
Avoiding complex legal terminology, we provide clear explanations of the substantive content of the regulations, focusing on the "6 Corporate Environmental Regulations," the most crucial laws for corporate operations.
It provides detailed explanations of the regulatory systems and key contents of six laws, including the Air Quality Conservation Act, the Water Quality Conservation Act, the Waste Management Act, the Soil Quality Conservation Act, the Chemical Substances Management Act, and the Environmental Pollution Facilities Act, and reflects the latest legislative trends, including the Carbon Neutrality Basic Act and the Circular Economy and Society Act.
Above all, this book is notable for being written by veteran experts from Hwawoo Law Firm's Environmental Regulation Response Center, including Center Director Kim Do-hyung, who holds both a doctorate in law and a doctorate in engineering and heads the center.
The authors, with extensive experience in legal consulting, academic research, and policy engagement, interpret complex legal regulations in a practitioner-friendly manner, helping companies develop proactive strategies to address regulatory risks and gain practical insights through key environmental law precedents.
This book provides the most accessible and authoritative practical guide to help corporate environmental practitioners navigate the complex maze of environmental regulations and achieve sustainable growth.
