Environmental regulation is changing at an exponential rate.
Around the world there has been a significant strengthening of
regulation, consisting not only of tighter new rules but also more
rigorous, consistent enforcement. For multi-national organisations
the consequences of not being prepared locally and the impact of an
environmental incident can be severe.
In this article Neil Beresford and Daniel Kassing of global law
firm Clyde & Co provide an overview of the latest regulatory
changes across leading regional markets in Europe, Asia and South
America. They explain how traditional risk management techniques
may also leave companies exposed to financial and reputational
risk.
