Webinar - ACC Europe Info Session: Introduction to Earth Law

Why Earth Law Matters for EU Corporate Counsel?

As legal professionals navigating the complexities of corporate governance, compliance, and risk, we are increasingly confronted with a new reality: the planet itself is becoming a stakeholder. Traditional legal frameworks often overlook the ecological boundaries that define the conditions for sustainable business. But this is changing.

Earth Law is an emerging legal paradigm that recognizes the planetary limits within which all economic activity must operate. It challenges us to rethink how corporate law, environmental compliance, and fiduciary duties align with the long-term viability of Earth's life-support systems.

For EU-based in-house counsel, this session offers:

• Insight into how Earth Law intersects with EU sustainability regulations, including the Green Deal, CSRD, and due diligence directives.
• Legal foresight: Understand how Earth Law could shape future corporate obligations and boardroom decisions.
• Strategic value: Learn how aligning with planetary boundaries can mitigate legal, reputational, and financial risks.
• Collaborative opportunity: Engage with legal peers and thought leaders shaping the future of law in service of a thriving planet.

Join us for this free, forward-looking session and explore how Earth Law can empower legal counsel to lead in a time of ecological and regulatory transformation.
