Outcome
Through this structured and continuous regulatory monitoring, Hochwald was able to transform a complex challenge — tracking the evolution of 19 different regulatory frameworks — into a clear, anticipatory and well-managed monitoring system.
The company now has consolidated visibility of EPR obligations and forthcoming legislative changes, enabling it to reduce risks, act more swiftly and effectively align its sustainability strategy with national and European requirements.
This partnership provides Hochwald with a solid foundation for guiding its decisions, planning its adaptations and strengthening its environmental performance across all its international markets.
