About The Program:

Now more than ever, businesses are facing mounting ESG expectations. Attention to climate change, food and water scarcity and human rights from an extensive range of stakeholders, including investors, is becoming increasingly widespread, even for small businesses.

To advise your clients confidently and to help them minimize the growing dangers, you need to know how ESG issues affect legal and business strategies and performance. Join our expert panel to gain best practices for recognizing and managing ESG risk and for ensuring compliance with unclear and shifting legal obligations in this developing practice area.
