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.
