The world’s leading authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not delivered a major report in seven years. But the installment released in August 2021 paints a dire picture of our future. 

On September 23, 2021, the U.S. EPA extended the reporting deadline for health and safety data on 20 high-priority chemicals and 30 organohalogens.

EPA issued a prepublication version of a rule that would extend the reporting and submission deadline for the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule under TSCA. The deadline is extended to December 1, 2021, for High Priority Substances (twenty), and to January 25, 2022, for the thirty (30) organohalogen flame retardants.

With sessions focusing on everything from regulation updates across the globe (including the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific) and PBT chemicals under TSCA Section 6(h) to the circular economy, PFAS, the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability — and of course IMDS — this year’s event is one you won’t want to miss.

We are experiencing a profound shift in stakeholder expectations and business growth strategy: sustainability is more important than ever before. Younger, high-growth companies — those that either are privately held or recently went public — face unique challenges and opportunities as they expand business while also considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, be it climate change, privacy, diversity, or a range of other material issues.
