Webinar | 12.09.21, 7:30 AM EST - 8:45 AM EST

Businesses are under increasing pressure to measure, improve, and disclose their environmental performance to investors, to consumers, and to regulators. And their efforts are reaching into every area of their operations, as are the risks and opportunities that follow.

  • Greenwashing and the reporting revolution: Navigating advertising and public statements (and why the Green Guides may no longer be enough)
  • Green sourcing—ensuring your supply chain is free from unlawful environmental practices
  • Collaborating with competitors: How the European Union is creating new opportunities to reduce environmental impact through partnership
