Speaker Biographies
Understanding the New EHS Risk Management Paradigm
This session will explore and define “risk” and “business risk management” with respect to the evolving role of the EHS manager. Consideration will be given to how businesses are managing risk from an Enterprise, or business-wide perspective, and where EHS fits into that process.
Scott Dendler, Vice President, Civil & Environmental Consultants
Identifying and Prioritizing EHS Business Risk: Tools and Approaches
Following on to the question of “what is risk,” this session will examine how to identify and prioritize EHS risks via an EHS business risk analysis process. Consideration will be given to the question: how do I prioritize risk and calibrate resources—time, money and people-- to risk management?

Doug MacNair, Principal Economist, Triangle Economic Research, an ARCADIS Company
Peer Presentations: PG&E, Lockheed Martin, Avery Dennison
Through four in-depth case studies from organizations who’ve integrated their EHS risk management into the business risk management process, this session will highlight how the speakers have set up their management system, measured and evaluated their EHS business risks, and implemented risk management changes, with a focus on their biggest successes and challenges throughout the process.
