Valenzuela City Brings Environmental Compliance Closer to Valenzuelanos with EMB-NCR Permitting on Wheels

The City Government of Valenzuela, under the leadership of Mayor WES Gatchalian, continues to prioritize environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance through a strategic partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Through its City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), the EMB-NCR Permitting On Wheels for Environmental Regulations (EMPOWER) was launched at the WES Events Space Canumay West, February 26, 2025.

This three-day mobile permitting service aims to provide accessible and efficient processing of environmental permits for businesses and individuals. EMPOWER offers on-the-spot assistance for new applications and renewals of key permits, including the Environmental Compliance Certificate, Certificate of Non-Coverage, Waste Water Discharge Permit, Permit To Operate, Hazardous Waste Generator ID, and Pollution Control Officer Accreditation.

Through this initiative, Valenzuelanos can experience a seamless and hassle-free way of securing their environmental permits, eliminating the need for long travel and tedious processing times. This effort aligns with the city’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly and environmentally responsible community.

Key officials from DENR, EMB-NCR, and the City Government of Valenzuela attended the launch event, along with representatives from various business sectors and environmental stakeholders.

Valenzuela City remains steadfast in its mission to integrate environmental responsibility with ease of doing business. With EMPOWER, the city continues to set the standard for proactive and sustainable governance.
