Since 1995, the Flemish decree on the internal company environmental care is effective. As a result, many companies, basically, all class 1 companies except a few exceptions, have to appoint an environmental coordinator.

Certain activities or planning developments are subject to environmental impact assessment. These plans and projects subject to EIA are listed in the Decree of the Flemish government of December 10, 2004, establishing the categories of projects subject to environmental impact assessment (Belgian Law Gazette 17/02/2005). It is based on the precautionary principle and the principle of preventive action. In the environmental impact assessment, the environmental impact on several aspects such as soil, water, human, flora and fauna are studied, discussed and evaluated in a scientifically sound manner.

Many organizations are involved, to varying degrees, with the transport of dangerous goods. This transport should always comply with ADR ( road ), IMDG (sea), or IATA (air). Organisations involved in transport or related activities of loading, unloading, filling or packaging of dangerous goods exceeding in total 50 tonnes per year, need to have a safety advisor available. This mandatory requirement is detailed in directive 96/35 EU. MAVA provides guidance to organizations on how to comply with the ADR, IMDG or IATA regulations.
