Dear Subscriber,

Info for New Members - About Compliance Roundtables

The roundtable series aims for Executives and Managers dealing with topics related to compliance, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and EHS ((Environment, Health, Safety) from VDMA members in China. During this roundtable we are aiming to inform about the current state of these two categories. What are commonalities and what are differences? Do they complete each other, or must they be treated as two completely different systems?

In cooperation with selected industrial and business experts, the target is to provide VDMA members with concerns and need strategic guidance for their operations in China. During the event, you will have this unique opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas with your peers and learn from the experts and each other.

The topic of this roundtable is to identify the commonalities and differences between ESG and EHS and how machinery companies in China are dealing with it.
