Roundtable Discussion: Digital Transformation in Global Chemical Compliance

About the webinar

As global chemical regulations become increasingly complex, companies are under growing pressure to manage compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks, including EU REACH, K-REACH, TSCA, KKDIK, UK REACH, and other national and regional chemical regulations.

Traditional compliance processes often rely heavily on manual monitoring, fragmented data, spreadsheets, emails, and multiple information sources. As regulatory requirements continue to expand, these approaches can become increasingly resource-intensive and difficult to manage efficiently.

This roundtable will bring together regulatory professionals, industry representatives, compliance specialists, and technology experts to discuss how digital transformation is changing the way chemical compliance is managed globally.

Rather than focusing solely on presentations, the session will encourage an open exchange of experiences, challenges, and practical approaches. Participants will discuss how digital platforms, compliance intelligence systems, automated monitoring tools, and centralized regulatory databases can help organizations manage increasingly complex compliance obligations.

The discussion will also explore the practical challenges companies face when adopting digital compliance solutions, including data quality, system integration, internal resources, regulatory interpretation, multilingual requirements, and coordination across global supply chains.

Key Discussion Areas

• From Manual to Digital Compliance: How are companies transitioning from spreadsheets, manual monitoring, and fragmented systems toward more integrated digital compliance solutions?
• Regulatory Intelligence and Monitoring: Can automated monitoring and real-time regulatory intelligence help companies identify important regulatory changes earlier and respond more effectively?
• Substance-Level Compliance: How can CAS-based searches, substance-specific regulatory intelligence, and automated screening improve compliance assessments across multiple jurisdictions?
• Managing Global Regulatory Complexity: What are the biggest challenges when managing compliance with EU REACH, TSCA, K-REACH, KKDIK, UK REACH, and other regulatory frameworks simultaneously?
• Data Centralization and Visibility: How can centralized dashboards and regulatory data platforms improve internal coordination, reporting, and decision-making?
• Supply Chain Compliance: What role can digital tools play in improving regulatory information exchange between manufacturers, importers, suppliers, distributors, and downstream users?
• Automation and Regulatory Alerts: Where can automation genuinely reduce regulatory workload, and where is expert regulatory interpretation still essential?
• Multilingual and Cross-Border Compliance: How can digital systems support companies operating across different languages, jurisdictions, and regulatory environments?
• Implementation Challenges: What prevents organizations from successfully adopting digital compliance systems, and how can these barriers be addressed?
• The Future of Digital Chemical Compliance: How could AI, regulatory intelligence, automation, and integrated compliance ecosystems reshape regulatory affairs over the coming years?

Questions for the Roundtable

The discussion will encourage participants to share their perspectives on questions such as:

• What is currently the most resource-intensive part of global chemical compliance?
• Which compliance activities can realistically be automated?
• How reliable should automated regulatory intelligence be before companies can depend on it?
• How can organizations maintain regulatory oversight while increasing automation?
• What types of regulatory data should companies centralize first?
• How can digital tools improve communication between regulatory teams and business functions?
• What role should AI play in regulatory interpretation and compliance decision-making?
• Will digital compliance platforms eventually become essential infrastructure for companies operating internationally?

Who Should Participate?

This roundtable is particularly relevant for regulatory affairs professionals, EHS managers, compliance teams, chemical manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, consultants, sustainability professionals, digital transformation specialists, and business leaders responsible for managing chemical compliance across multiple markets.

Why Join?

Participants will have the opportunity to exchange practical experiences with peers, discuss common regulatory challenges, explore emerging digital compliance approaches, and gain insights into how other organizations are adapting their regulatory management systems.

The roundtable aims to create an open and practical discussion around one central question.
