The BEC Senior Management Team identified three environmental focus areas (“EFAs”) which are Climate Change, Circular Economy and Sustainable Living Environment. These EFAs serve as anchor points for BEC to drive business actions and maximise impact. BEC runs three Advisory Groups (one for each EFA), which act as platforms for idea dissemination and exchange. Below is information on the mission, focus areas, related projects and research under each Advisory Group.
