At RAS, we are dedicated to environmental stewardship and community engagement. As the preparer for the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), we ensure our projects align with environmental standards and reflect community input.

Partnering with the DENR, we're preparing the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for our latest project.  You may learn more about whether or not your project requires an ECC from our eLibrary.

Clean air and safe water are vital to our health, communities, and future. We sent two participants to help push for stronger policies and solutions to protect these resources.

The air quality in Puerto Princesa, as of March 1, 2025, registered an AQI of 60, which falls under the 'Moderate' category. The primary concern is PM2.5 pollution, with a concentration of 14 µg/m³, indicating potential health risks for sensitive groups. This underscores the importance of the Air and Water Forum MIMAROPA, where stakeholders, experts, and advocates come together to address air pollution challenges, push for better policies, and promote sustainable solutions. By actively participating, RAS contributes to the collective effort of ensuring cleaner air for communities across the region.

Environmental compliance is crucial for businesses aiming to operate responsibly and sustainably. Securing the necessary environmental permits ensures that your project aligns with regulatory standards, preventing potential legal and financial setbacks. 

Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, project delays, or even shutdowns, affecting your business operations and reputation. By proactively securing the required permits, you demonstrate commitment to environmental stewardship, community well-being, and long-term sustainability.

You may schedule your complimentary consultation through our webpage, or you may visit our eLibrary to download a copy of the permits checklist.
