Workshop B: Leading Global EHS Through Organisational Change & Regulatory Flux
9:00 am
In today’s volatile biopharma landscape, effective EHS leadership demands adaptability, foresight, and influence. This interactive workshop equips global leaders to navigate shifting regulations, tightening
budgets, and organisational flux while sustaining a strong safety culture. Through peer exchange and scenario-led discussion, participants will learn how to lead with flexibility, maintain global alignment, and position EHS as a driver of trust, continuity, and performance.
Key Questions to Be Addressed
- How can senior leaders anticipate regulatory shifts and build foresight into strategy before compliance pressures force reactive change?
- What leadership behaviours and governance models enable standardisation with local autonomy across diverse regions and risk profiles?
- How can EHS priorities remain visible and adequately funded when capital is scarce, and business pressures dominate executive decision-making?
- What communication strategies help reposition EHS from a compliance function to a value-creating partner in business resilience and innovation?
- How can leaders foster psychological safety and engagement, so teams stay motivated, accountable, and adaptive during constant change?
