What this service is:
Know and understand environmental news, laws, regulations, and policies — in all major industrialized and developing nations, as well as international governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

- Follow the development of EU directives and regulations, and UN, IMO, and OECD treaties and recommendations. Know what's on the agenda in legislatures, regulatory agencies, and organizations around the world — and be prepared to address the issues that arise.
- Stay alert to political, economic, and technological factors affecting environmental programs around the world. Be current on crucial developments in international law.
- Keep informed of enforcement actions and litigation that could affect your interests abroad. Plan ahead to protect your overseas operations.
- Understand the institutional framework for environmental programs in other countries to better work within them.
- Locate key agencies in charge of environment and safety laws, regulations, and policies in individual countries and organizations.
