We are pleased to invite you to the kick-off call introducing the Corporate Sanctions Compliance Entity (CSCE) Certification – the first EU-based certification programme for entities, not individuals.
Developed jointly by leading EU and U.S. sanctions experts, CSCE reflects the expectations of supervisory authorities and is aligned with European standards. The certification process uses a smart, risk-focused assessment to verify your compliance with EU sanctions, while also identifying potential U.S. sanctions exposure arising from extraterritorial rules and a possible U.S. nexus.
By participating, you will learn how CSCE can:
strengthen your compliance credibility with regulators, business partners and investors;
provide independent, expert verification of your sanctions compliance framework; and
address both EU and U.S. legal risks in a single, structured audit.
This initiative is supported by Rymarz Zdort Maruta, BakerHostetler and ET CAETERA, combining top-tier EU legal expertise, U.S. enforcement insight and innovative compliance tools.
Join us to learn how this groundbreaking certification can enhance your compliance credibility, mitigate sanctions risks, and position your company as a trusted business partner in the EU and beyond.
Agenda:
Welcome & Strategic Context: Why Now? Why this topic matters now — even if your company is not in banking or defense?
“Wow, this is serious!” — enforcement across Europe
Which companies have already been fined?
Where have executives faced personal criminal charges?
Live EU enforcement heatmap: cases, penalties, real consequences.
Protection through certification – CSCE as your compliance shield What the CSCE Basic & Excellence programmes offer – and how they empower companies and individuals to stay safe.
U.S. Perspective – The Global Sanctions Landscape How OFAC enforcement differs, what global businesses must understand and why U.S. investors care.
Open mic / Q&A Bring your questions. Let’s talk risk, responsibility and what comes next.
Who should attend?
Executives, board members, legal and compliance officers and investors. Anyone who wants to protect not just their company, but also themselves.
