WAPFSA COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT CODE OF CONDUCT APPLICABLE TO DESIGNATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INSPECTORS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MINERAL AND PETROLEUM INSPECTORS

WAPFSA welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Draft Code of Conduct applicable to Environmental Management Inspectors (EMIs) and Environmental Mineral and Petroleum Inspectors (EMPIs).

WAPFSA acknowledges the importance of establishing clear professional, ethical and constitutional standards for inspectors tasked with environmental compliance and enforcement. The draft Code appropriately emphasises legality, integrity, accountability, transparency, environmental justice and protection of the public interest. These are essential pillars for an effective Environmental Management Inspectorate.
