Nat Vanitchyangkul Bangkok, Thailand Providing a Global Compliance Assurance Suite The Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) regulatory landscape is always evolving. As a result, organizations constantly need to stay abreast of current and anticipated legislative requirements and the level of activity of regulatory enforcement bodies. This is especially true in the wake of incidents in the oil & gas sector, such as the UK Buncefield explosion. However, meeting regulatory requirements is just one aspect of compliance assurance which covers a range of areas such as supply chain and information management. This scope is required as pressure applied by stakeholders and industry peers intensifies, and boardrooms continue to ask for reassurance that risks to business continuity are being minimized.
