Environmental rule-making in Europe and the resulting legislation and standards have changed significantly over the past four decades. Merely focusing on curbing emissions from point sources is no longer considered sufficient. Increasing attention to life-cycle impact now requieres more complex solutions. Often, European rules become de facto global standards.
The legislative process itself is now accompanied by thorough and mandatory cost and impact assessments, and frequent stakeholder consultation. Industry, science and stakeholders in general have little option but to communicate, consult and cooperate with one another. This is creating new challenges for everyone. On the other hand, complying with existing legislation usualy generates costs and is a potential source of liability if not done properly. Some companies see it as an opportunity for assuming their responsibilities to society. And it can create distinct competitive advantages if tackled early and innovatively. |
