For those companies who embrace sustainable, eco-friendly and green (SEG) business practices, whether it's through the construction of LEED certified buildings, office waste recycling programs, electronic communications to customers in lieu of paper, or other climate actions taken to reduce the size of their carbon footprints, many challenges may arise.

Sustainability concerns are poised to fundamentally change the way your organization does business. Corporate counsel are increasingly called upon to participate in everything from investing in alternative energy, sustainable products and technologies, to “greening” their companies’ facilities and operations, to verifying compliance with proliferating green reporting and disclosure requirements. The legal department will be a key focal point, and virtually every legal specialty can play a part.

Learn from a panel of authorities about the types of environmentally enlightened actions and purchases that commercial-building owners and occupants will volunteer (or be required) to make—and how those actions and purchases affect the legal department.
