AN ADVOCATE FOR GEORGIA INDUSTRY
Promoting Technically Sound Environmental Regulations and Policies
Formed in 1992, Georgia Industry Environmental Coalition, Inc. (GIEC) is a not-for-profit [501(c)(6)] organization of environmentally-regulated Georgia industries. Its diverse group of member companies, many representing the largest employers in the State, collectively represent an employee base that exceeds 55,000.
