Many firms regularly publish voluntary corporate environmental or sustainability reports beyond what is required by law or regulation. They also disclose sustainability data and information in reporting formats developed by third parties, such as the Global Reporting Initiative and the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project). In addition, organizations such as Dow Jones and Newsweek create and publish sustainability indices or rankings, often in conjunction with other firms that conduct the analyses. Join us for a series of discussions on a cutting edge issue for corporate environmental management. We will examine key environmental disclosure challenges and opportunities that corporations and their counsel face today, including:

  • the scope of voluntary corporate environmental reporting in 2014;
  • leveraging the expertise of both the corporate Environment, Health & Safety team and legal staff;
  • pros and cons regarding standardized metrics and benchmarks;
  • the reliability and value of external rating systems across industries and time; and
  • the idea of integrated reporting, in theory and practice.
