EU regulatory roadmap for 2024 and beyond

For those operating in the EU chemicals industry and their downstream users, change is the new normal. With new rules and amendments to existing regulations together with the continued advancement towards a circular economy, businesses across the supply chain are under increased scrutiny to ensure chemicals are safe and sustainable throughout the product lifecycle.  

The new EU Parliament in place, this conference will provide a dynamic meeting place to assess and debate the latest developments under REACH, CLP and the EU chemicals strategy for sustainability (CSS).  

Our expert line-up of speakers, including government representatives, lawyers, industry stakeholders and NGOs, will explore what the recent changes, such as the reform of chemicals assessment and substitution planning, as well as the various sustainability related developments, mean for industry and the barriers and opportunities they present for future development of the chemicals industry in the EU.
