The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Employees are leaving their jobs in record numbers, creating historic challenges for companies and complicating traditional labor and employment issues. This session will include a discussion on how businesses are dealing with the “Great Resignation” including labor shortage strains, managing unprecedented risks, remote work and flexibility requirements, IP and trade secret security, and other topics. The panel will take a deep dive into how businesses and their legal departments are handling each situation.
You're invited to join our special online event looking at some of the biggest sustainability trends impacting business on the continent.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are the two major interconnected issues facing our world, and Africa though not responsible for many of the drivers, faces a disproportionate share of the impacts.
There are still opportunities for us to prevent the worst of these impacts though, and develop innovative new financing solutions that benefit nature and people.
This webinar will be of interest to organizations who either wish to look at climate and biodiversity risks more closely, and the opportunities around sustainable finance or ESG.
Main Speaker: Justin Smith, Head of Business Development | WWF South Africa. Speakers from Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Mauritius have confirmed to share their views on: What is the biggest sustainability issue they are seeing in their particular country.
