On November 6, 2026, Environmental Management Consultants Inc. (EMC) delivered a presentation on Environmental Due Diligence at the Women in Motion session, hosted by the Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guyana in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The session was attended by Mrs. Malisa Nokta, Deputy Managing Director; Mr. Khalid Alladin, Projects Director; Ms. Kandila Ramotar, Projects Manager; and Ms. Shannon Stephenson, Senior Environmental Officer/Projects Coordinator of EMC.
The session provided an opportunity to engage women in business on responsible business principles and the importance of incorporating environmental considerations into business practices, planning and decision-making.
During the presentation, EMC presented key principles of responsible business, highlighting why businesses should integrate environmental responsibility into their operations and the role this plays in promoting sustainable business practices.
Particular emphasis was placed on environmental due diligence as an important process for identifying, assessing and managing potential environmental risks associated with business activities. The presentation also examined how applying environmental due diligence can help businesses strengthen regulatory compliance, improve operational practices and make more informed decisions.
Through the presentation, EMC highlighted the importance of viewing environmental responsibility not simply as a compliance requirement, but as an integral part of building resilient, competitive and sustainable businesses.
The engagement forms part of EMC’s continued efforts to promote environmental awareness, share technical knowledge and support the integration of environmental considerations across different sectors in Guyana.
