The seminar covered issues related to the Chemical Substances Registration and Evaluation Act (Chemical Control Act), key points of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, problems and future prospects of biocide regulation compliance, overseas chemical substance regulatory trends, IT solutions for chemical substances and safety environment regulation response, product environmental regulatory trends, and the necessity of a carbon management platform.

Yoonbin Hwang, Head of the Carbon Strategy Team at Chemtopia, introduced major laws and international trends related to carbon neutrality, a key topic in corporate management, during the ‘Product Environmental Regulatory Trends and the Necessity of a Carbon Management Platform’ session. He particularly emphasized the direction of carbon neutrality according to changes in international trends and the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method for calculating corporate greenhouse gas emissions.

As the obligation to disclose carbon emissions expands and activities for ESG management by companies become more important, Chemtopia plans to develop and launch an IT system-based carbon emission calculation and integrated management platform.

Sanghee Park, CEO of Chemtopia, said, “We prepared the seminar to share the latest information with clients struggling to respond to environmental and chemical substance regulations,” adding, “We hope this seminar will be very helpful to practitioners.”
