Leading EHS Through Uncertainty

When the geopolitical landscape changes, how do EHS leaders stay ahead? New leaders, shifting regulations, and evolving international relationships all impact how companies manage environmental, health, and safety responsibilities. In this episode, we hear from Angelique Dickson, co-host in this episode, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP at Antea Group USA; Lida Tan, President of Anew Global Consulting in China; and Alex Ferguson, CEO of Antea Group UK. They share how companies are navigating changing circumstances in their respective regions.

Guest Quotes

“ In the U.S., we're really looking at shifting regulations, where we're probably going to shift from a more federal-based system to a more state-based system, which means you've got a lot more uncertainty on what that's going to look like. So, I think the disrupting piece is where we're trying to make sense of some of those things that are happening and try to provide that forward look .” - Angie

“ The leaders are still forging ahead, maybe in a quieter tone….maybe they're not broadcasting, or speaking in different terms, but we definitely 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 the 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

“ In the energy market, we are seeing more innovation and diversification of supply than we've seen before. Projects that might not have been given real consideration are moving forward quickly. That's partly driven by the need for energy security. It's partly driven by energy demand, which does link into the tech sectors, you know, AI and data centers generally, plus the need for that to be local and secure, is really driving that market forward.” - Alex
