London – February 1, 2023 – The International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization (ICPHSO) has recognized Cooley partner Rod Freeman as its 2023 Ross Koeser Achievement Award recipient. As a London-based ICPHSO volunteer and board member, Freeman has provided the organization with opportunities to move beyond North America and into other global locations.

Most recently, Freeman served as international planning chairman of ICPHSO’s International Symposium, which is held in conjunction with the European Commission’s International Product Safety Week, and collaborated with product safety stakeholders, including industry representatives, international regulators, nongovernmental organizations, and international groups such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. In October 2022, more than 250 people from 35 countries attended and participated in the symposium in Brussels.
