A program hosted by:

ACC New York City

Are you aware of the new EU ESG rules and laws that will ensure that businesses address adverse impacts of their actions, including their supply chains? We invite you to bring your questions and join your fellow peers on September 15th for an informative session on Corporate Sustainability and EU Supply Chain Due Diligence. Our panel includes Osborne Clarke's Dr. Lars Kutzner, one of Germany's leading lawyers in the field of corporate white collar-crime advice, compliance management services and conducting internal investigations, and Pfizer's Nikki Adame-Winningham, Environmental and Sustainability Corporate Counsel with years of hands-on experience providing timely, business-sensitive legal advice on global environmental, health, safety and sustainability matters, including climate change and human rights. 

 

Points to be covered include:

• General ESG initiatives and practical tips for companies;

• The interplay of the European framework legislation and the impact on company-specific compliance;

• The European proposed regulation on the supply chain; 

• Strategic and operational challenges when it comes to ESG, as well as some projections.
