Managing Complex Supply Chains to meet Global Environmental Disclosure Obligations

It is already clear that 2012 will be the year when environmental regulations and customer disclosure obligations will drive global supply chain cooperation and transparency. Across the United States, Europe and Asia, regulations currently exist which require companies to document and disclose the impact of their business operations on everything from human trafficking and slavery, to the chemical make-up of products, and the precise origin of raw materials. The result is a requirement for major corporations to manage tremendous volumes of supply chain data in an organized, structured fashion. Unfortunately, the fluctuating and non-standardized legal and business obligations have created a declaration ‘sourcing treadmill’ for companies seeking to meet minimum compliance standards.

Managing the disparate standards requires a long term view toward ‘beyond compliance initiatives’ to sustainably protect your business efficiently and effectively. Practically, the modern environmental regulatory framework necessitates the adoption and implementation of a global approach to Environmental Management that can harness your substance data and structure it to your competitive advantage.

To foster a greater understanding of the global obligations and challenges associated with international trade, Foresite Systems will be hosting a complimentary webinar program on the topic. This free webinar will include:

• Highlights of the data requirements for International Regulatory Compliance Obligations, RoHS, REACH, EPR, Conflict Minerals, etc…
• A Discussion of the Responses and Processes implemented by major Corporations
• A Demonstration of Foresite’s pioneering Global Environmental Management System (GEMS)

The Webinar will be presented by Travis Miller and Graham Margetson of Foresite Systems, Ltd. As recognized experts in environmental regulatory compliance and the associated business processes, they have advised many of the largest companies in developing sound defensible regulatory compliance processes.
