Filtering Regulations to Get to Just What We Need

“It’s essential that we keep ahead of regulatory changes and identify anything that could impact the way we operate”

Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship and ongoing leadership in developing sustainable solutions.

Ian Barford, Senior HSE Manager at Kodak, is responsible for Global Chemicals Compliance and Emerging Issues. He also manages the administration of C2P, the compliance knowledge management platform from Compliance & Risks, that helps Kodak to keep ahead of regulatory changes.

The Challenge

  • We need to be able to readily identify emerging product-related regulatory issues around the world, and to manage them in an efficient manner
  • We were struggling to do this as our previous setup was somewhat piece-meal and dispersed among different systems and providers
  • This made it difficult to understand if we were seeing all of the regulatory information that we needed.

C2P is a compliance and market access software platform that provides reliable legislative information, insights, and actions, to help clients get products to market faster, while ensuring they are compliant with all relevant regulatory requirements.

  • It’s essential that we keep ahead of regulatory changes and identify anything that could impact the way we operate, as well as communicate regulatory information to our wider team
  • C2P enables us to track these changes and export summaries
  • The platform cuts through mountains of regulations to ensure we get the most relevant information we need to do our jobs

On going technical and regulatory support

  • Since the beginning, the C2P team has been very good at responding to queries and making suggestions as to how our evolving needs can be met.

Platform and content development

  • We also appreciate the fact that C2P is developing and evolving in ways that offer us more capability and flexibility in managing regulatory compliance.
