11.10am – 12.00pm Protecting Directors and enhancing shareholder value: The ESG regulatory landscape – an opportunity or a hindrance?
The ESG regulatory landscape is rapidly changing at a pace that businesses have never experienced before. The global rollout of the International Sustainability Standards combined with regional developments such as the EU’s CSRD and CSDDD is creating new compliance frameworks for organisations to navigate, with legal obligations and liabilities for directors and other stakeholders. Business wide transformation is equally on the horizon. Legal and Company Secretarial teams play a vital role in the management and mitigation of risk. This panel will explore how the regulatory landscape is creating the need for ice cold focus on directors’ roles and responsibilities and how the legal function can play its role in partnering with the Board to not only protect but enhance business value.

ESG reporting concerns a business’s approach to the Environment, Social, and Governance – three distinct strategies that must be disclosed in most reporting frameworks. Greenhouse gas emissions are one crucial part of the E in ESG, and, unfortunately, businesses often underestimate the complexity of their calculation and disclosure. Learn from experts and practitioners in the field how to successfully navigate your corporate ESG strategy to ensure regulatory compliance and seize the business opportunities of accurate carbon accounting.
