U.S. Domestic Policy & Politics
Given the diversity of industries in which SCOA group companies operate, a wide variety of US laws, regulations, and other political developments have the potential to impact SCOA’s bottom line. Therefore, the Washington office closely monitors US political and policy happenings ranging from election campaigns to climate and energy initiatives.
The Washington Office regularly releases reports regarding domestic policy and politics on SCOADC.com.
