History

In 2004 we celebrated 15 years of providing EHS consulting services to industry. We've come a long way since the first Environmental Policy Centre was established in 1989, and throughout that time we have passed numerous milestones. 

Enhesa - Environmental Policy Centre (EPC) was initially created by LAW Engineering & Environmental Services in 1989 under the leadership of former U.S. EPA Administrator, Lee Thomas.  Since then we have evolved into the world leader in assisting multinational companies to ensure ongoing compliance with EHS regulatory requirements worldwide.

To get an idea of what we're planning for the future, please have a look at our mission.

2004 Enhesa celebrates 15 years of EHS consulting to industry.
2004 Enhesa Flash starts to be issued bi-monthly instead of quarterly, reflecting an increased reporting frequency
2003 The 2004 Global Forecast on EHS Regulatory and Policy Developments is issued.
2003 Regulatory Monitoring is now reported monthly to clients, instead of quarterly.
2002 The Brussels office celebrates its 15th anniversary.  To mark the anniversary, Enhesa issues its first Global Forecast on EHS Regulatory and Policy Developments Impacting Industry.  After a thorough evaluation on how multinational companies can ensure ongoing EHS Regulatory compliance, Enhesa develops a new methodology for EHS regulatory auditing: the Audit Protocol and ScoreCard.  In the following three years Enhesa develops and maintains Audit Protocols and ScoreCards for 36 countries worldwide.
2001 A major restructuring of the Law Companies Group allows a Management-Buy-Out of the Environmental Policy Centres.  A Belgian company Enhesa S.A. is established by the managers of the Environmental Policy Centre.  ENHESA S.A. acquires the trade names and most of the assets of the offices in Brussels and Washington DC.  Strong collaboration remains with the former office in Tokyo.
2000 The Environmental Policy Centre launches its quarterly Newsletter "EPC-Flash" with titles of new EHS Regulations adopted in some 50 countries around the globe.
1998 The Environmental Policy Centre opens a third office in Tokyo to better serve the Asian market.
1996 The Environmental Policy Centre in Brussels takes over the lead in global EHS regulatory and policy consulting for multinational companies.
1995 At the request of its growing corporate customer base, the Environmental Policy Centre extends its practice into Asia and Latin America.  EPC carries out a Regulatory Forecasting project for a leading automotive manufacturer to anticipate environmental regulatory requirements impacting production facilities in the coming 15 years.  EPC also assists the European Commission in its mid-term review of the 5th Environmental Action Program.  The two projects illustrate the in-depth knowledge and expertise gained by EPC in assessing environmental policy trends.
1994 EPC is selected by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to develop a training kit on Environmental Management Systems in anticipation of the adoption of an international standard (ISO 14.001).  The kit built on EPC's experience with assisting multinational companies in building their corporate EHS management systems.
1993 The Environmental Policy Centre starts developing a network of local EHS regulatory, policy, management and technical expertise throughout Europe, while recruiting key consultants from various nationalities.  The Environmental Policy Centre also starts building its Knowledgebase on EHS regulations.  The Monitoring Service on environmental, health and safety regulatory and policy developments impacting industry is launched.  It builds on experience gained by EPC consultants with projects for the European Commission.
1992 Given the success of the Environmental Policy Center in Washington DC, the Law Companies Group establishes a second Environmental Policy Center in Brussels.  To distinguish it from the one in the US, it is called Environmental Policy Centre Europe (EPCE).  Its aim is to advise multinational companies on how to deal with European environmental regulatory requirements.  Many multinational companies had invested in Europe to ensure a market presence after the creation of the 1992 European Single Market.
1989 At the initiative of former US-EPA Administrator Mr. Lee Thomas, the Law Companies Group establishes the Environmental Policy Center (EPC) in Washington DC.  Its aim is to advise companies on how to manage their environmental issues in view of the US Federal environmental policy developments.
