EHS, facilities, procurement, and sustainability each left something unresolved in Q2. Here is what each function needs to close before the second half starts.
Silicone hull paint beat copper coatings in European tests. The findings could reshape antifouling choices for boatyards, marinas and paint suppliers.

Fines for non-compliant buildings are no longer a future risk — they're accruing now. Boston's BERDO 2.0 charges $1,000 per day, New York's Local Law 97 is penalizing excess emissions per ton, and D.C.'s first compliance cycle is closing.
