A Voice For Business at the Table of Regulations...
Our primary objective is to help your business avoid fines and sanctions associated with ever expanding environmental regulations.
Jaime Lozano, one of the two founders of the Business Environmental Coalition tells a story of when he was working with the city of Los Angeles...
During a meeting, the question goes out:
"What are we going to regulate next?"
Someone suggested Drywall board
Discussion ensued, "It's obviously toxic, ever see the dust when it breaks?"
Another person, "Those toxins must be bad for the people living in homes, isn't there 'asbestos' in Drywall?"
This goes on for several minutes...
Then Jaime interjects,
"Can I say something?"
"It might be worth noting Drywall is made from Gypsum which is basically chalk and talcum powder!"
The room got quite for a few minutes while someone went to check
After confirming Jaime was right, they went looking for something else to regulate
Most environmental regulations focus on businesses. We believe Business needs a voice regarding those regulations!

"While most organizations like the BEC are focused on how to force businesses to be compliant,
the BEC is focused on working with businesses to find solutions
that are beneficial to business and the environment"

Like everyone else, Business Owners want clean air, water and a safe world for our children. Most Entrepreneurs work tirelessly to make a difference.
Business owners don't have time to get together and protest so laws like SB-1383 go unchallenged making our workload heavier and often standing in the way of real environmental progress.
The Business Environmental Coalition was created to...
- Monitor creation and enforcement of environmental regulations
- Whenever possible, help our members avoid huge fines
- Influencie the regulation process
- Help define reasonable interpretation of regulations
