What does it take for industries to grow responsibly while maintaining environmental compliance? For companies operating at Beluluane Industrial Park, the answer starts with understanding regulatory requirements and continuously improving their environmental performance.
To strengthen environmental compliance across Beluluane Industrial Park, MozParks partnered with AQUA to host a workshop for companies operating within the park. The session provided a platform for participants to better understand Mozambique’s environmental regulatory framework and the responsibilities of businesses in maintaining compliance.
“Environmental responsibility starts with knowledge and grows through collaboration. This workshop is one of the ways we support companies in building stronger and more sustainable practices,” states Katya Coelho, Sustainability Development Coordinator of MozParks.
Participants gained practical insights into key legal requirements, including Decree No. 80/2023, the environmental audit process, and common compliance challenges faced by companies. The workshop also explored good environmental management practices and actionable measures organisations can adopt to improve their environmental performance and reduce environmental risks.
“Taking care of the environment today means leaving a sustainable legacy for future generations. Environmental audits are an important tool to help companies strengthen their environmental responsibility and continuously improve their performance”, stated Miguel Matine, a representative of AQUA.
Beyond the technical discussions, the workshop created an opportunity for participants to exchange experiences, clarify concerns, and learn from one another, while reinforcing the value of collaboration in building a more sustainable industrial sector.
Through initiatives like this, MozParks continues to support businesses operating within its parks with the knowledge and tools needed to grow responsibly, ensuring that industrial development and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
