Great insights from our partner Eduardo Mulas at the Regulatory Summit Europe 2025, where he spoke on the panel "CLP under pressure: Regulatory trends, implementation gaps, and future challenges." With new hazard classes added to the CLP Regulation, the complexity and volume of harmonised classification dossiers are set to grow rapidly in the coming years. Eduardo highlighted the growing tension between the EU’s competitiveness goals and the regulatory pressure this brings: a challenge for both industry and Member States. Thank you to the organisers Chemical Watch news & events by Enhesa for the opportunity to contribute to such an important discussion. #EPPA #RegulatoryAffairs #CLP #RegulatorySummitEurope #Compliance #ChemicalsPolicy

🔎 Case study 🔍 Regulatory uncertainty can be a deal-breaker for investors. A recent client struggled to secure funding—not due to financial instability, but because of evolving EU regulations creating uncertainty around their future compliance. Investors saw risk where the company saw opportunity. Our solution? A proactive regulatory due diligence strategy that: ✅ Anticipated policy shifts in EU chemical regulations ✅ Built a forward-looking compliance framework ✅ Positioned compliance as a competitive advantage The result? Investor confidence restored, funding secured! In 2025, regulatory diligence is as critical as financial health for investment success. Are you leveraging it as a strategic asset? #RegulatoryDiligence #InvestmentStrategy #EURegulation #Competitiveness #PrivateEquity #PEInvesting EPPA Alice DESVILLES Christoph Katz Gabriel Lecumberri Beascoa

🫧 Alex Bocquillion and Alice Desvilles are at the 5th edition of the Congrès Détergence today at the Maison de la Mécanique, Paris!🧼🪥 With over 200 participants, this event is a key moment to exchange on regulations, sustainability, and market trends. The detergent sector is at the crossroads of multiple legislations—REACH, CLP, Cosmetics, BPR, Green Claims, Ecodesign, Deforestation and more — making an integrated regulatory approach essential. Companies that connect the dots between these frameworks don’t just ensure compliance—they build smarter strategies for a well-functioning internal market and future-proof innovation. Looking forward to insightful discussions!

🌍📈 Strategic thinking in action | EPPA Bi-Annual Partners Retreat 2025   Great ideas don’t happen in isolation! They emerge from strong teams, bold discussions, and a shared drive to explore new perspectives. This week, our partners gathered in Ermelo, NL, to reflect on the global context, EU politics, our network and how we can continuously challenge ourselves to innovate and strengthen our services for our clients while also bringing added value to the EU landscape.   At EPPA, we thrive on curiosity and knowledge development. We believe leadership is about learning, evolving, and creating the right environment for excellence: not just for ourselves, but for those we collaborate with. Our associates are the foundation of EPPA, and we are committed to supporting their growth, fostering their expertise, and empowering them to continue carrying the torch of our DNA right alongside us: bridging between decision-makers, civil society, and industry.    Isabel de Castro Asarta #EPPA #StrategicThinking #Innovation #PublicAffairs #RegulatoryExcellence #Leadership #Teamwork
