SUMMARY:GKV REACH workshop
DESCRIPTION:The GKV cordially invites all member companies to the online workshop “Update REACH/CLP\, requirements for placing hazardous substances and mixtures on the market\, restriction of microplastics and new regulation “on preventing pellet losses” and PFAS”.  \nAs always\, participants first receive basic knowledge of the REACH and CLP regulations. Our member companies are confronted with chemical law inquiries from their customers on a daily basis. So that they do not lose track\, the workshop provides a list of the most important regulations with secure LINKS for quick reference. According to the restriction on synthetic polymer microparticles (microplastics) in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation\, as of November 2025\, all plastics processors\, including manufacturers of molded parts\, would have reporting obligations to the Chemicals Agency in Helsinki by May 31\, 2026. Will it stay that way? The new regulation “on preventing pellet losses” adds to all of this. High time for precise instructions to the participants.      \nThe planned restriction of PFAS remains on the agenda. Participants receive an update on the current status.  \nThe workshop is intended to fill any gaps in the knowledge of plastics processors and provide all participants with concrete help in dealing with compliance work. \nWe look forward to welcoming you online on March 10\, 2026. \n🔗 Invitation flyer for the workshop \n🔗 F urther information and registration

SUMMARY:Intensive seminar on crisis management and crisis communication
DESCRIPTION:The GKV cordially invites all its member companies and those of the sponsoring associations to the intensive seminar on crisis management and crisis communication on November 12/13\, 2025 in Frankfurt am Main. \nFor small and medium-sized companies in particular\, communication during a crisis can be crucial to their survival – regardless of whether it is an accident\, a product crisis or a compliance breach. Emergency services and authorities need information\, politicians and journalists need a point of contact and employees need a perspective. Messages should be developed and questions answered before reporting and public opinion change. There is no substitute for preparation and planning in the event of a crisis.\nWith a practical mix of workshop and intensive exercise\, our crisis-experienced communications expert Dr. Hans-Georg Klose puts the participants into “crisis mode”: How can a company still function when “the house is on fire” or the public prosecutor is at the door with a search warrant? Transport accidents\, product recalls or cyber attacks – prevention is essential in all cases. Managing directors\, plant managers or communicators can put their existing crisis management to the test in the seminar or plan their own crisis team using a crisis manual.      \nParticipants\nThis seminar is tailored to the group of people who have to manage the crisis in the company in an emergency: Managing directors and site managers\, plant and occupational safety specialists\, communications colleagues and marketing specialists. Each participant receives a GKV crisis manual and a clear idea of what needs to be done in the company for good prevention\, who should be involved and which steps logically build on each other.\nPlease note: the number of participants is limited. So make sure you secure your place quickly!\nThe event is reserved for members of the GKV and members of the sponsoring associations. \nParticipation fee\nThe participation fee is EUR 800.00 plus VAT per person. This includes participation in the seminar\, refreshments during breaks\, lunch and dinner together.   \nCoordinates of the conference venues\nWednesday\, November 12\, 2025: AVK office (Frankfurt am Main)\nThursday\, November 13\, 2025: pro-K Industrieverband (Frankfurt am Main) \nRegistration and further information:\nRegistration form\nInformation flyer GKV
