Balancing Cooperation, Competition and Green Marketing When Meeting the ESG Agenda 2023 | Marcus Evans | 25 May 2023 | Webinar

ESG has been a trending area of litigation in recent times and corporate counsels are being challenged to be proactive in assessing the risk their company may be opened up to when making ESG commitments. No industry has been immune with recent investigations stretching from FMCG to fashion. These investigations have been brought by both the UK’s Competition & Markets Authority and the European Commission.

In this online interactive session, we will discuss critical steps to proactively safeguard your company when it engages in collaboration with its suppliers or competitors to meet its ESG requirements and what to be aware of with respect to “greenwashing”.

Learning Objectives:

• Analysing the impact ESG has on the in-house legal function

• Assessing the risks of collaboration to promote the ESG agenda of your company and the steps critical to safeguard your company

• Assessing the risks that may emerge from “greenwashing”

• Developing a comprehensive risk management framework that ensures that the legal, regulatory and compliance risks associated with ESG are understood and accessed

• Promoting an anti-trust compliance agenda within your company
