The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise, and Industry has announced a new milestone in its commitment towards sustainability by signing a Silver Collaboration Agreement with AIS Environment Ltd. This partnership seeks to enhance awareness and positive action on environmental sustainability, a key priority for many businesses and policymakers alike.
The agreement reflects the shared dedication of both organisations to fostering a greener and more sustainable economic future for Malta. Through this collaboration agreement, The Malta Chamber and AIS Environment Ltd seek to raise a business culture that views sustainable development as way of safeguarding investments and future earnings.
Commenting on the partnership, Chris Vassallo Cesareo, President of The Malta Chamber, stated that “environmental sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is a necessity for the resilience of businesses and the economy. This agreement with AIS Environment Ltd strengthens our commitment to equipping our members with the knowledge and resources needed to thrive while safeguarding our environment.”
AIS Environment Ltd, a leading consultancy firm specialising in environmental management and sustainable practices, brings over 30 years of experience and technical expertise to the partnership. This includes providing businesses with practical strategies for reducing their environmental impact, improving resource efficiency, complying with environmental regulations and expanding their business.
Senior environmental consultant at AIS Environment Ltd, Yasmin Schembri, emphasises the importance of this agreement. “In 2024, global temperatures exceeded the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C benchmark, marking the hottest year on record. Concurrently, Malta dropped five places in the global climate change performance ranking. Such realities mandate urgent action across all economic actors. These challenges, along with the EU Green Deal’s ambitious targets, are leading to stricter regulations for the Malta Chamber and its members. The voice of the Malta Chamber is more important now than ever before.”
“AIS is proud to sponsor The Malta Chamber in its efforts to assist the Maltese enterprise and local industry overcome business threats brought about by environmental legislation and environmental degradation,” noted Mario Schembri, Managing Director at AIS Environment Ltd.
The agreement was signed by Chris Vassallo Cesareo, Nick Xuereb and Dr Marthese Portelli, President, Deputy President and CEO of The Malta Chamber respectively, and Mario Schembri, Managing Director at AIS Environment Ltd.
