Texas Public Information Act 101: Protecting Your Company’s Confidential EHS Information from Disclosure
September 21, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Xochi (Downtown)

Companies are often required to submit confidential corporate information to comply with environmental, health, and safety programs administered by the State, obtain permits, and defend enforcement actions.  That information is frequently sought by third parties, including other companies, environmental groups, and the media.  Our speakers will provide an overview of the Texas Public Information Act (“PIA”). We will include practical tips for maximizing protection when submitting information to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or other State entities and defending against a third-party PIA request.

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.
