Certificate of Authorization

AUDITEX, a Terrapex subsidiary, helps companies obtain environmental permits from the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Fauna and Parks (MELCCFP).

The obligation to obtain an environmental permit stems from Article 22 of the Environment Quality Act (EQA), which applies to all construction work, industrial operations and any other activity that could result in the emission or release of pollutants into the atmosphere or environment. To learn more about the activities that require the submission of a request for an environmental permit, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our professionals.
