Keeping you in-the-know on environmental, social and governance developments

An article from Ecolumix CEO Doug Parker provides food for thought as the new administration gets going here in the US.  Fundamentally, companies may want to re-prioritize old fashioned environmental compliance management – pushed aside in favor of sustainability, climate and ESG in recent years.

As federal deregulatory action gathers steam, “we are likely to see greater deference to states in areas where they have delegated authority, such as enforcement of the Clean Water and key portions of the Clean Air Act.”

This is a good time to review and reinvigorate your environmental compliance and auditing programs.
