Examines the history of FTC's guidance on green marketing claims, and potential changes as a result of the workshops that the FTC is conducting in 2008.

Are you versed in the requirements surrounding mandatory vs voluntary reporting of environmental releases and violations? It’s likely your company is relying on you to provide legal guidance on this issue, but are you prepared to answer the questions if/when they come up? If not, our panel will first detail the legal requirements triggering the mandatory reporting of environmental releases and violations and then focus on the more difficult situation of voluntary reporting or disclosure of releases and violations that are not covered by current reporting rules. Take home an interactive tool to determine if a release has occurred and what/how to report such a release or violation.

Designed to meet the needs of the busy and time-constrained in-house counsel, this panel will give a list of the top 10 best EH&S management practices that in-house counsel can immediately adopt and implement at their respective companies. While these plug and play procedures will be generic in nature to allow for use in a variety of industries and businesses, the panelists will give concrete examples of how these can be applied at other companies and how these measures will meet your legal obligations.
