The ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have intensified the global sanctions landscape. As a result, businesses are compelled to enhance their compliance measures and actively address sanctions-related risks. The EU and its Member States have taken steps to standardize and enforce restrictive measures, increasing the need for organizations to stay updated and compliant with evolving sanctions laws.

This training provides a comprehensive overview of EU sanctions policies and measures, equipping participants with a practical framework to manage sanctions compliance effectively within their operations.

The objectives of this training are to:

• understand the current EU sanctions policies and enforcement mechanisms;
• identify key compliance measures required to mitigate sanctions-related risks;
• implement effective internal controls, policies, and contractual clauses for sanctions compliance;
• navigate sanctions risks with a focus on international and EU regulatory standards.
