This program is co-sponsored by the ACC Energy Network and the Energy Bar Association. \n\n\n\nEnvironmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) policies have attracted a groundswell of critics within private and public companies and federal and state governments. The interplay of this Anti-ESG movement and the energy transition has come to light with a growing number of Anti-ESG bills\, shareholder proposals\, and climate change litigation. During this webinar\, our speakers will provide a high-level overview of developments within the Anti-ESG movement\, discuss the relatively broad support for ESG\, and share helpful tips about how to navigate the legal risks present when ESG and Anti-ESG converge. \n\n\n\nIf you are a corporate counsel and would like to register for this Legal Update webinar\, please click here. If you are not an ACC member\, please email events@bdlaw.com for more information. \n\n\n\nBeveridge & Diamond is proud to sponsor the ACC Environmental and Sustainability Network\, a group that enhances the ability of ACC members to practice environmental law. The Network provides resources\, peer connections\, and other support for member companies on environmental and sustainability issues for facilities and products\, including project development and worker health and safety issues. \n\n\n\nEBA Members can create a free account to register for the program: Create Account URL:https://www.eba-net.org/event/co-sponsored-event-esg-and-anti-esg-for-the-association-of-corporate-counsel/ LOCATION:District of Columbia CATEGORIES:In-House Counsel Coalition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eba-net.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/EBA-Upcoming-Event3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T190000 DTSTAMP:20260418T121250 CREATED:20230206T160822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230207T150704Z UID:10000015-1677603600-1677610800@www.eba-net.org SUMMARY:Young Lawyers Council Co-Sponsored Happy Hour DESCRIPTION:Please join EBA’s Young Lawyer Council\, FERC’s Women Empowering Women\, and Asian Pacific Americans of FERC for an informal happy hour!
