SPONSORED | Study examines economic cost of poor air quality to spur business action in SA

Loading player...
Business Unity South Africa (Busa) is advocating for businesses to make air quality a priority for the long-term sustainability of their operations. To support these efforts, Busa commissioned two pieces of research from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR): the Air Quality Emissions Reporting Guideline and the Air Quality Economic Impact Study.
In this discussion, Busa’s environment policy specialist Tshiamo Nokwane and CSIR researcher Mogesh Naidoo explain how the research aims to help South African businesses, particularly smaller companies, move beyond reactive regulatory compliance.
The focus is on encouraging proactive emissions management and reporting, supported by a better understanding of their environmental impact and the economic consequences of poor air quality.
