Compliance and Risks Past Events

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome which established what is now the European Union, never before have the post-war legal and regulatory structures been in such doubt. Populist majority votes have left the UK set to leave the European Union, and across the Atlantic, have brought Donald J. Trump into the U.S. Oval Office. Now with sweeping changes on the horizon, which include measures such as the ‘One In, Two Out’ Regulatory Reform Order and a bill before U.S. Congress to completely abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, it seems difficult to anticipate what’s next in terms of environmental regulation. During this hour-long webinar, our Knowledge Partners Lynn Bergeson of leading Washington-based law firm Bergeson & Campbell and UK-based consultancy Edif ERA will provide an overview of the key issues and offer a ‘what’s next’ guide for compliance during this time of unprecedented regulatory uncertainty.

With the changes to the environmental systems management standard ISO14001, companies must now consider how the environment is affected by their products across their complete life cycle.

For this webinar we will take a practical look at how to move from: - Managing regulatory compliance of facilities to - Also managing regulatory compliance of products We will look at best practice processes in the complex and fast changing world of product regulatory compliance.
