Podcast Episode One, Season Two – Leading EHS Through Change: Global Perspectives on EHS Strategy
Each guest brings unique insights from their region, offering a snapshot of how global businesses are adjusting their strategies while continuing to prioritise environmental responsibility, health, and worker safety.
In the United States, Angelique shares how a shift from federal to more state-based regulation is creating uncertainty for businesses. This decentralisation is forcing EHS leaders to reassess their compliance strategies and develop more agile, forward-looking approaches.
“The leaders are still forging ahead, maybe in a quieter tone. Maybe they’re not broadcasting or speaking in different terms, but we feel that it has not slowed down. But these are the leaders. Then you have the middle section—they’re progressive, but they’re not taking strong leadership. I think they are quietly watching. They haven’t slowed down, but they’re not expanding either. The leaders are still leading. They’re adapting to a slightly different strategy, and we’re with them.” – Lida Tan
In the United Kingdom, Alex reflects on how energy security, rising demand, and the influence of the tech sector, particularly artificial intelligence and data centres, are driving a wave of innovation. Projects that might not have progressed previously are now moving quickly, powered by the dual forces of necessity and opportunity.
It’s a thoughtful discussion on what it means to lead through uncertainty, how regulation evolves across key markets, and what the future might hold for global EHS.
