Description

The key focus of the Private Roundtable is on the regulatory enforcement of greenwashing stemming from unsubstantiated claims about a company’s asserted transition plans, or a breach of sustainable disclosure standards, and whether either could, in turn, amount to a breach of directors’ duties.

While the primary participants comprise esteemed regulators from South Asia and policy professionals from international organisations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), there is a diverse and well-rounded panel, complemented by the presence of practitioners and academics, to enrich the discussion.

The Private Roundtable shall comprise two sessions. The first session shall delve into the constituents of greenwashing from a global perspective. The second session shall primarily focus on engagement and enforcement strategies to tackle the issue of greenwashing. Each session will feature two keynote speakers, who shall set the tone for the ensuing discourse.

This event is organised by The Commonwealth Climate & Law Initiative (CCLI), a UK-based charity, and the EW Barker Centre for Law and Business.
