Environmental documents, Brussels Capital Region

In the Brussels-Capital Region, environmental documents are of great importance because they contain essential information on the impact of human activities on the environment. In order to ensure that this information remains available to future generations and that these documents can be used for future decision-making, a mandatory retention period for environmental documents has been established.

The mandatory retention period for environmental documents in the Brussels-Capital Region is set by the government and varies by type of document.

In addition, this retention requirement can also help enforce environmental regulations. By keeping these documents, governments and regulatory bodies can carry out future audits to ensure that companies and organisations comply with the environmental rules in force.
