Spotlight: Compliance & Strategy in China’s Rapidly Changing Environment Policy
This event will feature thoughts from Deputy Sec. Pang of CPCIF on China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and implications for environmental compliance in China. The 14th FYP will place great emphasis on meeting China’s environmental challenges.
USCBC is honored to work with USCBC member Dentons and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (CPCIF) to bring members an expert briefing, panel discussion, and Q&A on recent EHS trends and what companies can do to manage cost & compliance and how the environment compares to overseas markets. In 2019 USCBC released a major benchmarking report on environmental compliance for US companies in China. In the two years since, changes in EHS have created new areas of focus, concern, and perhaps even opportunity for companies in China. The following areas will be covered:
- How China differs from other markets around the world on environmental policy
- Plastic regulations – plastic bans, recycled materials, and “green”/ sustainability claims
- Carbon emissions and the carbon credit system
- Hazardous materials and solid waste disposal
- Environmental Standards and formulation thereof
USCBC is pleased to feature three experts in the field:
Mr. Pang Guanglian, Deputy Secretary General, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation
Mr. Wilfred Feng, Senior Counsel, Dentons
Mr. Jim Ziegler, APAC Technology Director, Eastman Chemical Company
Each will speak and offer insight into how companies can better navigate China’s EHS legal and policy environment.
