Chemicals and Advanced Materials (REACH & PFAS)
This industry covers the production, use, and commercialization of chemical substances and advanced materials subject to strict environmental and health regulations. Continuous updates to REACH and the progressive restriction of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) create significant compliance risk, as changes in regulatory status can instantly impact product viability, supply chains, and inventory valuation across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods sectors.
ESG & Sustainable Finance (CSRD & Taxonomy)
This vertical monitors the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate sustainability reporting and green finance. With the implementation of CSRD and global ESG standards, companies must track updates to reporting metrics, delegated acts, and green taxonomies to maintain market access, investor trust, and regulatory compliance across all corporate sectors.
Life Sciences & MedTech (Pharma & Medical Devices)
Focused on the highly regulated healthcare sector, this industry tracks critical updates from global health agencies (FDA, EMA, Swissmedic). It covers market authorization, clinical trial regulations, and quality standards for pharmaceuticals and medical devices, where a single regulatory shift can determine product viability and global market access.
