Retail Compliance Partners with NAEM for Environmental Forum

RCC to develop retail-focused content

The Retail Compliance Center (RCC) announced today a new partnership with the National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM) to ensure that a strong thread of retail-specific content will be on the agenda for NAEM’s 2017 Environmental, Health, Safety (EHS) Management Forum.  

The Forum brings together environmental, health, and safety (EHS) and sustainability decision-makers for education, networking, and best practice discussions. The Retail Compliance Center is an initiative of the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) established in 2013 to provide retailers and industry stakeholders with access to retail-specific information, tools, and solutions pertaining to state and federal environmental regulations. 

Together, the two organizations will provide Forum attendees programming relevant to EHS and sustainability professionals across all industries, including retail. 

“We’re excited to partner with NAEM for the 2017 EHS Management Forum. We’re confident that, as the premier event for environmental, health, and safety and sustainability professionals, the Forum will provide our members a unique opportunity to discuss environmental compliance challenges with peers across other industries, while still offering the education and networking they valued from the RILA conference,” said Tiffin Shewmake, executive director of the Retail Compliance Center.  

“Strengthening our Forum program to focus on issues that are relevant to retailers is a natural outgrowth of NAEM’s mission. We believe this strategic partnership with Retail Compliance Center will create a unique networking opportunity for our community and build a new path for future collaboration between our organizations,” said NAEM Executive Director Carol Singer Neuvelt. 

NAEM’s EHS Management Forum, now its 25th year, will take place October 25-27 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Retail Compliance Center will also host a meeting for retail environmental compliance professionals on October 24.
