The Greenwashing Legal Risk Management and Compliance Strategies Summit is returning for its 2nd edition on 19-20 October 2023 in Brussels, BE. The two-day fully physical event will focus on new legal developments and best compliance practices for mitigating legal risks associated with greenwashing claims.
With the proposal of the European Commission on Green Claims, in-house counsel and compliance teams need to be up to speed on the latest developments regarding greenwashing risks.
To that end, the event will feature a series of keynote presentations and panel discussions with prominent industry leaders covering new regulations, workable compliance strategies, supply chain liabilities, and governance implications, among others. As greenwashing cases continue to rise, the summit offers a unique opportunity for legal professionals across multiple sectors to exchange ideas and experiences by reviewing related case studies and best practices.
Certain industries are particularly at legal and reputational risks from greenwashing claims, such as Energy, Mining, Heavy Machinery, Cosmetics, Food, and Aviation, to name a few. Legal and compliance professionals from these sectors are particularly encouraged to attend the 2nd Greenwashing Legal Risk Management & Compliance Strategies Summit, to prepare against legal risks and the threat of lawsuits, as green claims scrutiny continues to grow. Similarly, Executives can also benet by gaining a better understanding of liabilities and regulations around misleading sustainability advertising or environmental credentials.
This small-scale, closed-door event is designed to provide maximum networking opportunities and share practical experiences and case studies. As the topics addressed at the summit are sensitive, the Chatham House rule applies.
