<H2>Risk of regulatory compliance at factories in China is on the rise, impacting your supply chain as well as any facilities you may own or operate in China.</H2>
 
You are invited to learn more about what is driving these changes and how to cost-effectively mitigate risks to output
 
<UL>
<LI>Meet representatives from leading companies such as Baker McKenzie, Gilead, HP, Intel, Dell and many others and get insight in your business vulnerability, learn from other companies about strategies they used to overcome this challenge, even turn it into a competitive advantage.</LI>
<LI>Meet representatives from China’s leading environmental NGO IPE (Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs), China’s Environmental Defense Fund, to learn about policy developments, and from GREENMENT’s senior leadership, who have been helping foreign multinationals in China understand and mitigate environmental risk since the early nineties.</LI>
<LI>Learn about a new risk control tool that allows companies to quickly screen their portfolio of operation and supplier sites using site addresses only. The tool cross-references regulations, regional and industrial policies and environmental quality data to foresee which sites are potentially at risk and allows companies to take tactical and strategic business decisions to mitigate risks.</LI>

<H2>Why this event ? Whom should attend?</H2>
 
<UL>
<LI>Any large business today has significant exposure to China as a manufacturing base, market for your products and/or technology development partner.</LI>
<LI>China’s industrial landscape is being reshaped by environmental policy priorities and a central government that is stronger now than at any time in the last 200 years. These changes will force many production sites to close or relocate at great expense, and with associated supply chain disruptions.</LI>
<LI>Impacts will vary according to regional sensitivities and cross- checking is necessary to get reliable impact assessments.</LI>
<LI>Being a multinational manufacturer in or sourcing from China remains a solid business proposition, but critical business decisions may be required to sustain your advantage.</LI>
<LI>The first step is assessing site-specific vulnerability to China’s policy changes.</LI>
