Many companies expand their footprint by purchasing existing companies and/or building facilities near critical resources or business markets. This can lead to companies doing business in locations with diverse environmental, health, safety and sustainability (EHS&S) regulatory paradigms that are structured differently. Global – and even regional – EHS&S managers can run into challenges related to language; cultural nuances of how business is conducted; and time zone differences. This is can be challenging when trying to understand the requirements from a distance when travel bans preclude EHS&S presence at the facility.
Join Order from Chaos – Global EHS&S Management Challenges and Solutions, as our experts detail how they have worked with global clients in the technology, manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, and energy sectors to help them identify and control risks in compliance with the laws and regulations of the local authorities. You will hear them discuss the key best practices for each stage of facility development – from deciding which country to operate/build in and selecting a site and/or acquisition, permit to operate, and fulfilling operations and sustainability goals to decommissioning of a facility.
By attending the webinar, you will gain a better grasp of:
- Why understanding the global EHS&S landscape is so important
- Regulatory requirement calibrations across the globe
- Project development – what do you need to know to ensure there are no sudden stops due to regulations
- Acquisition of property/companies – how to augment ASTM Due Diligence – which tends to be western in approach – to obtain data you need and to learn about risks that may not be tracked globally, such as Environmental Justice
- Permit to Operate – understanding regulatory timelines and resources needed
- Successfully managing facilities from a distance.
