The Role of IMDS in Corporate Responsibility Due Diligence

October 15-16, 2024 (+ optional training on 10/17!)

Laurel Manor, Livonia, MI

Event Overview

There’s only one event in North America to get information on the latest IMDS system updates, Product Carbon Footprint, EU battery passport, PFAS, and more, all in one place — our 21st annual IMDS, Product Compliance & Sustainability Conference! 

Held at Laurel Manor in Livonia, Michigan, this year's event will take place both in person and virtually, as we explore "The Role of IMDS in Corporate Responsibility Due Diligence."

Join us to hear detailed presentations on Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and its connection to data quality, electronic reporting in IMDS, the EU battery passport, and more, including:

  • Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)
  • Mandatory Chemistry Manager reporting
  • IMDS version 14.3 and 14.4 updates (along with what's coming next in version 15.0)
  • In-depth information on TSCA and PFAS
  • Updates from the IMDS Steering Committee on ELV, REACH, and other EU legislation, along with potential futures releases for IMDS

While all attendees will benefit from live presentations, in person attendees will also have the opportunity to network with industry leaders and peers, discuss the latest innovations with event sponsors and exhibitors, engage in "Table Talk" on trending topics during lunch, and participate in our end-of-event networking reception.

Those joining in person can also choose from one of three half day training sessions on October 17: "Developing and Delivering PCFs Across the Automotive Supply Chain," "IMDS Data Wizardry: Unlock Your Full Potential," and "EU Battery Passport/Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) & Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Requirements and More." Click here to learn more.

Whether you're new to IMDS, an experienced user, or somewhere in between, this year's event is for you. Secure your spot today!

Product Carbon Footprint: 101

Providing a strategic review of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), this session will cover regulatory drivers (e.g., battery passport, digital product passport, carbon neutrality, etc.), supporting technology and data management capabilities, potential next steps and future developments based on the PCF/LCA, and much more.

PFAS Experts Panel

This panel discussion will highlight EPA rules and updates for PFAS reporting, OEM perspectives on how to respond to these rules, and advocacy around state legislation. Strategies for reporting will also be shared from a supplier perspective.

EU Battery Regulation/Passport

Including a general overview of the EU battery regulation and passport, this presentation will focus on data that needs to be collected/gathered to meet requirements.

How to Use IMDS Data for Technical Advocacy

As IMDS data is crucial for analysis, this presentation will explore how it helps the automotive industry advocate for more time to transition out of substances, ensuring better compliance and smoother, more cost-efficient transitions amidst increasing global chemical legislation.
