Over the past two years, China has realized the full coverage of environmental protection inspection and strictly executed renovation on emission reduction irregularly. A large number of enterprises have been forced to stop production, which results in brands’ supply chain disruptions. All of these have brought huge challenges to the real economy. The environmental policies continue to tighten since 2018. The Government is continuing promoting the supervision of legislation and Standardization in order to improve the long-term supervision mechanism, especially for high polluting industries and dramatic environmental issues and carry out "re-check" actions as well as special supervisions. In the new round of environmental-protection storming, enterprises is facing new challenges. Is it possible to overcome challenges and seize the leading opportunities in the industry? Is it possible to identify undiscovered environmental risks in the supply chain?
In order to help companies on all these questions and confusions, TÜV Rheinland, in collaboration with Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) together, sincerely invite you to participate in the "Environment Seminar" event. Experts from various fields will discuss with you face-to-face on hot issues of industrial environment management, sustainable water management, and green supply chain and so on.
