Navigate Latin America’s rapidly evolving chemical regulations with direct insights from national regulators and the region’s most trusted compliance experts.
About the summit
Across Latin America, chemical management frameworks continue to evolve as countries advance new inventories, prioritisation tools and REACH‑style systems. Divergent GHS implementation remains a practical challenge for many, and forward‑looking developments, including the direction of PFAS controls and expanding circular economy and EPR policies, are adding new layers of complexity for organisations operating within or supplying into the region.
Join regulators, legal specialists and industry leaders as they unpack these shifts and provide practical guidance for navigating Latin America’s increasingly interconnected regulatory landscape. Designed for teams managing chemicals across multiple markets, the event supports professionals in product stewardship, regulatory affairs and sustainability as they work to anticipate future requirements, strengthen compliance systems and enable innovation across regional and global value chains.
