Support our nonpartisan, nonprofit research and insights which help leaders address societal challenges.
DonateThe Environment and Regulatory Affairs Council brings together environment leaders from multinational companies to learn best practices, strategies, and new solutions to environmental issues.
The Council focuses on strategic, management, regulatory, and compliance issues related to environment and regulatory affairs. It takes an impartial look at the key policy and scientific issues that underlie existing or proposed regulatory policies.
Members explore challenges that arise from plant- and product-oriented environmental legislation and social pressures and discuss best practices for efficient and innovative management. In an effort to anticipate future legal requirements, the Council keeps members informed about current issues in European environmental policy.
This Council is right for senior executives of multinational companies responsible for environmental affairs, sustainability and product stewardship issues.
