Environment Connect is a collaboration between the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) and the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) with the support of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA - formerly Victorian DELWP).

It’s an Ai Group forum which improves communication between industry and the Victorian State Government.

Environment Connect, run by the Ai Group, offers a unique opportunity to collectively address the senior executives and environment managers in a range of sectors including major manufacturing, logistics, waste, IT and distribution companies in Victoria.

The EPA has supported Environment Connect and its mandate to assist with communications and provide direct feedback.

Environment Connect meets throughout the year and includes senior EPA and State Government staff to enable networking, engagement and discussion about contemporary environmental issues.
