ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) concerns and risks are a growing focus for businesses. But what are they and why are they important? Is ESG the same as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)? Is this the same as "Corporate Sustainability"? Why do people keep talking about "supply chains" in this context? How do Diversity and Inclusion fit into these concepts? And even more importantly - what should Corporate Counsel know and do about all of this?
In this session experts from Baker McKenzie will get to the bottom of these buzz words. They will identify some of the relevant international instruments and look at the local legal framework. By way of case studies, Sarah and Sean will talk about modern slavery reporting (locally and globally) and diversity and inclusion programs (what they should now encompass and what new initiatives corporates should now consider rolling out).
