Outsourcing company services that require sensitive data to third parties does not relieve your organization of liability. Far from it — entrusting sensitive data to a vendor can increase your risk of a data breach and drive up the associated costs of the fallout. However, if you conduct due diligence and verify that your vendor can handle confidential information with care, you bolster your company’s defense if a breach occurs due to the vendor’s negligence.

Why Environmental Law Should Concern You: ESG, EJ, & PFAS (On-Demand)

Why Environmental Law Should Concern You: ESG, EJ, & PFAS (On-Demand) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

Due to the nature of its content, this on-demand program is not eligible for CLE/CPD credit.

Of the number of legal issues companies and their in-house counsel face in their day-to-day, environmental considerations may not be a primary focus. However, with the recent uptick in enforcement and renewed focus on environmental policy and regulation at the local, state, and federal level, businesses who don't act to protect themselves could face potential legal ramifications: fines, lawsuits, and negative public perception as well as a possible risk to bottom line profitability.

Join ACC Northeast and Beveridge & Diamond for an informative webinar focusing on three major environmental issues affecting businesses in New England today, including:

  1. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) - While implementing ESG considerations is an important tool for managing and mitigating risk on a number of fronts, TD Bank ESG Counsel, Dylan King, will cover why it is increasingly a point of political contention here in the U.S.
  2. Environmental Justice (EJ) - Beveridge & Diamond Associate, Lauren M. Karam, will review how EJ is rapidly evolving on both the state and federal level, and what this means for area businesses.
  3. Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) - New England sits at the leading edge of PFAS regulation and litigation, and is now glimpsing at potential unintended consequences. Beveridge & Diamond Principal, Graham C. Zorn, will cover what has happened so far and what to expect next.
