What are environmental taxes and why should businesses pay attention to them?

Environmental taxes are fiscal obligations designed to reduce ecological impact and encourage sustainable practices.

Effective management avoids penalties, protects reputation, and can provide competitive advantages in sustainability-focused markets.
