Summary
Formed in January 1992, the PBE is a non-stock, non-profit organization
composed of businessmen. It is involved in environmental enhancement
projects, education and awareness, promotion of clean technology, sound
environmental management, and intermediation between communities, business
and government in environmental laws.
One of its major contributions is the preparation of a business Plan
Proposal for PRRP with the Center for business Citizenship of the Philippine
Business for Social Progress (PBSP). The business plan, prepared
in August 1994, included a review of the various feasibility studies
conducted for rehabilitation of the Pasig River and an overall management
task force for its implementation. The review resulted in a new
grouping of PRRP projects, as follows: a study of the absorption capacity
of Manila Bay, industrial liquid waste management, domestic liquid waste
management including the diversion of the San Juan river, solid waste
management, and riverside management.
The organization has 31 charter members form various industries, some
of which are located along the Pasig River. It is also a member
of the Steering Committee for the Asian Development Bank-assisted Pasig
River Environmental Management and Rehabilitation Project.
