Environmental Clearance Certificate (DoE)
Ensure your business is environmentally compliant — Segunbagicha Consultancy handles your DoE clearance quickly and professionally.
Every factory, commercial establishment, or industrial project in Bangladesh must obtain an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment (DoE) before construction or operation begins.
This certificate confirms that your business activities comply with national environmental and pollution control laws.
At Segunbagicha Consultancy, we manage the full process — from preparing your Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to submitting and securing final approval from the DoE.
What Is an Environmental Clearance Certificate?
An Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) is a government permit that ensures your business or project meets environmental safety standards under the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act, 1995.
The Department of Environment (DoE) issues this certificate after reviewing your project’s potential environmental impact, waste management plan, and compliance with pollution control measures.
Without this clearance, no industrial or commercial project can legally begin construction or operation.

The DoE classifies projects into four categories based on environmental impact:
