As the regulatory landscape evolves and new challenges arise for companies, general counsels and compliance departments have become increasingly important, helping organisations to adapt. As such, there is significant pressure on compliance professionals to ensure that companies meet their obligations.
The skillset of General Counsels and Compliance officers has had to increase in tandem with the volume and complexity of regulations. Where once compliance officers operated like lawyers, now they also need to be techies with a deep understanding of the technology estate. It is a multi-dimensional challenge.

During these past eight months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to make things happen: the drafting of the Shipbuilding Position Paper was realised, a call with EU DG-Trade counterparts in Brussels discussing the high tech supply chain was initiated, lobby actions advocating for business restart in cruise were taken and comments on the European Commission’s White Paper on Foreign Subsidies has been submitted. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to the EU-China Shipbuilding Dialogue later this year. In order to realise WG members’ expectation, we would like to meet you and invite you to share your experience, your ideas and perspectives, but most of all to meet each other and have fun.

Let this be an evening to celebrate our commitment and support for each other!

One thing that is certain about the current business environment, it is that absolutely nothing is certain at all. The world has experienced life-changing disruptions as result of COVID-19 in everything from technology to mobility, to the recent changes in political and economic climates, which have created an air of instability and uncertainty that is felt by consumers and business alike, leading to a number of strategic and operation changes, such as remote working, new procedures, internal reorganization, cost cutting and portfolio adjustments. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are the new status quo. In order to forge ahead, businesses need their people on board, engaged, and confident in the future of their companies.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to invite you to the 2020 edition of the HR Excellence Conference, which will take place on Thursday 3rd September at 9:00am, in Shanghai.

The European Chamber’s China Investment Conference 2020 will draw attention to European business investment resilience in China through insights and discussion from industry leaders.
