GCG can assist you today in:

·          Cutting through REACH’s complexity 
    o         849 pages
       o         ~30,000 substances to be registered
       o         The need to be sure your substance uses are registered – and are authorized ?? 
·          Making sure you can continue to sell into the world’s largest developed market
       o         “How do we calculate the collective weight of any carcinogenic, mutagenic, persistent
             or bio-accumulative substances in our products?”
    o          “We can’t sell into the UK or Germany because no-one registered how we actually use
             one of our critical substances?” 
·          Minimizing your supply chain/business interruption risks
       o         “What if our supplier discontinues a critical substance?”
       o         “We have to communicate risk management methods to our customers?” 

GCG’s “One-Step-At-A-Time” Approach to REACH Compliance
We’ll assess your REACH status and identify your gaps. Then we’ll make recommendations, lay out a
roadmap and implement GCG’s Phase 1 REACHTrack™ Matrix. As a result, you will be:
·          Ready for REACH’s June – December, 2008 pre-registration window
·          On top of your critical, key and high-concern substances
·          Well on your way towards implementing your REACH project plan
·          Ahead of the long REACH curve (and probably your competitors)
·          In line with the urging of the EU’s largest electronics industry association: “Start Now!” to
      prepare for REACH

Key questions:
·          Do you fully understand high-stakes impact that REACH will have on your business and
      your supply chain?
·          Can you afford to lose revenue because critical substances and their uses aren’t registered?
·          Can your IT systems incorporate a substance library and seamlessly track all the supplier,
      weight, volume and other multi-column data points you will need?
