Environmental Law Violations

Environmental law violations occur when individuals or companies break laws designed to protect the environment. This can include illegal dumping of waste, exceeding emissions limits, or failing to obtain necessary permits. In the context of white-collar crime, these violations are often non-violent but involve deceit, financial gain, or neglect of safety regulations, which can harm public health and ecosystems. Prosecuting such offenses holds violators accountable, promotes corporate responsibility, and emphasizes the importance of environmental protection in business practices.
