With the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), companies within and outside Europe are under increased scrutiny for their environmental and social practices. CMS' upcoming webinar explores insights and advice on recent regulations, and the risks that arise from them.
The CSDDD directive will impact supply chains and businesses across all sectors, causing a global shift in corporate accountability.
In this session, CMS experts will share insights into the litigation risks associated with CSDDD, discuss relevant case studies, and explore proactive strategies for companies to address these challenges.
Key topics:
- Overview of the CSDDD framework and its legal implications.
- Likely key battlegrounds in litigation - identifying and managing the risks associated with CSDDD.
- Avoiding litigation - strategic approaches to mitigate potential legal challenges.
Speakers include:
- Nicolò d'Elia - CMS Partner, Milan
- Aukje Haan - CMS Head ESG, and Co-Head of the CMS Commerical Group
- Rafal Morek, PhD - CMS Head of Arbitration, Poland
The critical insights into legal and regulatory impacts should equip NEDs with a stronger understanding to consider compliance and manage risks associated with ESG litigation, building a more developed approach to corporate accountability and strategic risk management.
