Reminder – Presentation on Green Entrepreneurship

The CCCI and the Famagusta Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the University of Limassol (UoL, the evolution of CIIM), in the context of the work of the Green Entrepreneurship Observatory, are organizing a presentation/discussion on Green Entrepreneurship on Thursday 22 June 2023 at 16:00 to 17:30 at the Famagusta Chamber of Commerce at 153 Georgiou Gourounia Avenue, 1st Floor, Office 3, 5281, Paralimni.

The need for businesses to adopt more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices is now known to everyone, and in many cases is part of the legal obligations of businesses.  Some of the main obligations for green transition that affect businesses are emission reduction, sustainable production, promotion of sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

The European Green Deal is central to promoting sustainable growth and to adopting green practices and provides important opportunities for businesses, including investments in innovation, research and development, as well as the creation of new green jobs.

During the presentation, various topics regarding Green Entrepreneurship as well as ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) issues will be discussed and the Green Entrepreneurship Observatory will be presented. The topics will be developed by experts from the University of Limassol.

Cleaning of Plots in Industrial Areas

We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry (MECI) will take all the necessary steps to carry out the cleaning of weeds and other objects from all public places of the Industrial Areas within the next few weeks. This does not exempt renters from keeping their premises in good and clean condition.

During the recent visits of the Competent Officers of MECI, it was noticed that in a large number of plots and buildings there are exposed useless and bulky objects (including cars and their parts), while there is also wild vegetation both outside and around the leased properties/plots, as well as in the public places of the Industrial Areas.

According to specific terms of the lease agreements you signed with the Ministry, you have the obligation to keep your premises in good sanitary condition and at the same time keep the empty space of your leased property clean. Please note that in the event of a fire, due to your failure to comply with your obligations under the contract, you will bear full responsibility.

In view of the above, please proceed immediately to the cleaning and removal of wild vegetation, dirt and useless objects that may be in the open space and/or on the perimeter of your premises.
The aim is the timely response to the risk of causing or spreading fires, primarily to safeguard your property but also to maintain order within the Industrial Areas.
