ROPORTIONATE AND ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES (PAGIT) http://www.innogen.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2019-04/PAGIT%20FrameworkReport-Final_170717.pdf The regulatory system adopted for a new technology will determine: the innovation strategies of companies; the extent to which the disruptive innovations that could respond to currentlyunmet societal needs are able to be developed; the innovativeness of industry sectors; their geographic location and scale of operations; and ultimately the relative competitive advantage of the regions and nations of the world. The framework includes a role for standards that integrates them more constructively and consistently into governance and regulatory systems than has been the case in the past. It incorporates three principles to guide decision making - the innovation principle, originated by the European Risk Forum (ERF)3 and adopted widely throughout the EU4 , and the regulatory principles of proportionality and adaptation5 .The contribution of standards to implementing these principles lies partly in their diversity and ability to cope with a broad range of circumstances (e.g. covering products, processes, manufacturing and organisational behaviour), partly in their flexibility in the face of a rapidly evolving technology landscape, and partly in their capacity to achieve consensus across the perspectives of a broad range of stakeholders.

The idea of sustainability as core component of the chemical industry principle is a goal still perpetuated today by initiatives such as the European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry (SusChem)19 and the Technology Vision by White House Office of Science and Technology Policy20. The first brings together industry, academia, policy makers and the wider society to promote innovation and competitiveness of integrated chemical and biotechnological solutions to respond societal’s issues across Europe while the latter is a “call to action” for US companies to dominate environmental technology, improving efficacy by sustainability, reducing risks and costs while making a beneficial environmental contribution. But nothing of this would have been possible at the same magnitude if it weren’t for policy makers and private groups’ agendas on sustainability and climate change that led to regulatory updates such as the 849 pages of the European Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Initiative21. The REACH initiative is considered the cornerstone of the regulations regarding chemical substances and their effects on human health and the environment. The regulation shifted the burden of proving the chemicals’ safety on companies making them responsible for over their chemical’s risks. While European chemical companies endured a significant reduction of competitiveness due to the combination of REACH’s regulatory burdens and Asian competition, REACH aligned companies’ goals towards the safer trends of the green chemistry, fostering innovative and sustainable solutions1. Nevertheless, regulations like REACH could higher legal burden on SMEs versus big market players.
