Guest Quotes
“Because EHS ESG becomes mainstream for companies, it's not anymore something operational, do something and we don't care at management. Management cares.... You are in the mainstream as an ESG professional, EHS professional, and the audits become more important. It becomes more business related and you're more in focus. And the auditor has a very important role in this process.” - Robert
“The role of the auditor, typically, or at least our approach is to help educate the facilities help educate those local personnel... We really take the approach and our role is there to help. So we encourage the facility level practitioners and personnel to ask us questions. We are here to help you and guide you, but they need to be open with us.” - Lauren
“For me, it's very important to be the helper. That we help the customer, the clients, in really making sure that his view on the legislation is the right one. My view on legislation is, of course, what I know for myself, but also experiences which we have from other customers who have a certain view and some legislation and how they solve this legislation. And this is essential to transfer this knowledge to our customers.” - Roland

Guest Quotes
"How is environmental and social risk identified and managed? How is pollution control managed? Labor rights for staff working on the sites? And then, looking at the larger area, biodiversity, cultural heritage, indigenous peoples? So, for me, it's a two step screening process, local regulatory environment, and then the global standards that we're comparing to for this particular investment or acquisition, and that can change depending on who the stakeholders are.” - Eeda
“It absolutely requires the full spectrum of due diligence items that aren't driven by the regulators here in the US, they're driven by customer demands, right? So that's one of them. What we're seeing here in the US is they're only doing what they need to meet anticipated regulations coming down the road, like the SEC rulings and that sort of thing.” - Matt
“The emergence of ESG, through regulation, et cetera, has become a much bigger part of our M&A approach. I think the complexity is at the minute or the challenge really, is that the legislation and the interpretation of that is very complex and also that the legislation is changing. So the challenge is for not only us as advisors to keep on top of those changes, but for our clients to do the same as well.” - Graham
“Every M&A transaction in the corporate finance and investment world comes with some potential risks. It not only encompasses business-related or financial risks, but areas like environmental and health and safety. As M&A environmental practitioners, we have seen the focus shifted considerably towards a multidisciplinary approach involving topics such as social human rights, and governance. More and more companies are recognizing the value of doing the right thing and being responsible, good corporate citizens, not only complying with regulations.” - Lean

07/23/24 • 55 min
Workplace safety isn’t just a priority, it's a fundamental requirement. As occupational risks evolve, how can we ensure that our safety practices not only comply with regulatory requirements but also cultivate a safety culture across industries?
This episode features interviews with experts Alizabeth Aramowicz Smith, Senior EHS Consultant at Antea Group USA; Bruno Zapata, Senior EHS Consultant at Tonkin + Taylor; and Sofiane Kessouar, Senior EHS Consultant at Baden Consulting. Together, they discuss the multifaceted landscape of occupational health, spanning regions and industries.

They emphasize the importance of fostering a strong safety culture, continuous learning, and proactive strategies to foster safer workplaces for all.

Guest Quotes
“Some companies want to quickly resolve a case, or they want to quickly close something, but you need to use that as an opportunity. You need to engage with the stakeholders and you need to try to understand, “Okay, what is actually the root cause of this event, so I can prevent this?” - Bruno Zapata
“I think we're in a continual state of learning, and humans and the workplace are constantly evolving. As we change and evolve, the risks are changing and evolving too.” - Alizabeth Aramowicz Smith
“So, the local perspective serves to underline the fact that the corporate culture does not automatically apply in a standard way in all locations. And that integration needs to be achieved by means of employees on the ground or local consultants who can analyze the specific needs on site and then remedy these problems in an appropriate way.” - Sofiane Kessouar

Rethinking EHS: Global Goals. Local Delivery.
07/09/24 • 33 min
Flooding, one of the most dangerous natural disasters, is becoming increasingly prevalent due to climate change. Millions of people around the world are impacted by floods and the effects stretch far beyond the physical destruction.
This episode features interviews with experts Andreas Deckelmann, Senior Consultant for Hydrogeology and Environment at HPC; Jon Rix, Principal Flood Risk Consultant at Tonkin + Taylor; and Agenor Freitas, Field Technician at Antea Brasil. They share their harrowing experiences during devastating floods in Germany, New Zealand, and Brazil.

Despite adversity, their stories of courage and community support offer not only hope and inspiration, but also invaluable insights for a more climate-resilient future.

Guest Quotes
“I think the huge growth there is how can we be ready for the next events? What were the lessons from what we've experienced, and how can we more efficiently respond to the future events, which we know are coming? Because they're going to be getting more frequent.” - Jon Rix
“The knowledge of the local people and conducting interviews, for example, in a case of a flooding event, sometimes oral information is really important. Information by a local inhabitant of a municipality about perhaps the former drainage channel can be as valuable or even more valuable as any kind of planning information.” - Andreas Deckelmann
“Well, I think no matter how insensitive people can be, if they don't feel something after what happened in the region, well, I'm sorry, but they have no heart. Because it had such a big impact on me. To this day, I still have nightmares about it.” - Agenor Freitas

“I truly believe that really good things can happen out of global cooperation. And if you think about it all the way up to climate change and our ability to have an impact, that's global cooperation because we can't do it alone.

Guest Quotes
“Water stewardship is not an exact science...So what does it mean that the water stewardship is not an exact science? It means that we cannot fix water. Water needs continual care and attention.” - Mariarosaria
“The cost of doing nothing is always far greater than the cost of doing. So start your journey, learn, and improve along the way. Learn from others. That really is the power of sharing.” - Beatrice
“The important piece that you should be able to achieve with the society is building trust and a relationship with the community... which is crucial for gaining the community support and also ensuring the stewardship efforts are well received by the community.” - Raja

---------
Guest Quotes
“I think it's really important to control the narrative and build that rapport with the regulator.Don't make the relationship adversarial from the start. Create a partnership with the regulatory environment, and you can drive the action then as a business, as opposed to waiting for the regulators to drive the action, which could be much more expensive, could come with a lot of other implications, and could have brand impacts.” - Jack Sheldon
“We hear more and more about the ban of PFAS. Now, for example, in France, there was a proposition for a law to ban PFAS in clothing and textiles. But, then all the textile industry,they will probably have to change their process of producing textile, or they will have to find substitutes for the PFAS. So, this also has a lot of costs for the industries.” - Jolanda Boisson
“Why it's important because it's already spread in the environment and we know already they are largely present and mixed. For example, there are some places in France, in the region of Lyon, where we already have a large contamination. This is already impacting every environment, including houses, gardens, animals and people.” - Lucie Robin Vigneron

Guest Quotes
“The tourism industry exists in Costa Rica because of our biodiversity, because of the natural wealth, natural beauty that you see here. It's what makes it a tourism destination, and tourism itself accounts for over 8 percent of GDP and almost 10 percent of all employment.” - Jose Dengo
“In New Zealand, in Aotearoa, we have a customary practice, which is called kaitiakitanga, and it's the concept of guardianship. So we, as individuals and as collectives, can all be custodians, or we can all be kaitiaki for the species that live here in New Zealand or elsewhere, and for the biodiversity that the place where you live supports. And I think everybody has a role to play.” - Susan Jackson
“Everything is linked. That means all the consequences are linked together, like famine, civil wars, desertifications, armed conflict, and diseases. All is linked and if we don't look for the resilience of ecosystems, that will be crazy soon. For the future generations, we need to take care of it.” - Stéphanie Le Bonniec

“Build a local compliance team. It's very important to have a strong team local.” - Tom
“We're seeing EHS broaden to more social considerations and social factors, which is wonderful to see because we're getting much better results out of that.” - Sandra
“The importance of a local understanding is apparent, especially in Asia, Asia Pacific and Southeast Asia where language is an issue. Some of the regulations are written only in the local language and for multinationals to really understand what it means to comply, translating it to English may not capture the exact interpretation.” - David
