The environment industry of British Columbia is undergoing an exciting process of re-orientation and renewal due to the recent convergence of environmental, energetic and sustainability-related issues. This convergence has prompted a fundamental shift in stakeholder participation and perception of the environment, which in turn, has placed a greater emphasis on the implementation of proactive environmental defence strategies versus reactive ones.

As global economic and political forces shift and influence the operational sectors of its membership, the BCEIA, through new alliances and strengthened partnerships focused more broadly on sustainability, shall endeavour to ensure that it`s vital role and that of its members in shaping British Columbia`s future, are accounted for.
