Environmental regulation is an increasingly important factor for companies operating in Poland. The guide provides international investors with an overview of key environmental law issues affecting business activity.
Environmental regulation is an increasingly important factor for companies operating in Poland, particularly in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and real estate. Businesses entering the Polish market must navigate a complex regulatory framework covering environmental permits, environmental impact assessments, liability for contamination, waste management and climate-related obligations.
These issues are addressed in the Legal 500: Environment Comparative Guide, an international publication that provides a cross-jurisdictional overview of environmental law regimes around the world. The guide is designed primarily for international investors, in-house counsel and advisers seeking a practical introduction to the regulatory landscape in different jurisdictions.
The Poland chapter of the guide was authored by experts from DZP's environmental protection team: Daniel Chojnacki, Partner, Maria Szczurek, Associate, and Anna Sajdak, Legal Intern.
The chapter offers a concise overview of the Polish environmental law framework, including key legislation, the role of public authorities, permitting procedures, environmental liability rules and selected regulatory issues relevant to businesses operating in Poland.
