ESG

The Steering Committee welcomes a select group of up to 50 thought leaders, including in-house and outside counsel, consultants, and representatives from the finance community, to discuss the rapidly expanding demands on corporations to meet the ESG expectations of stakeholders, investors, and regulators.

Using candid, seminar-style discussion, the group engages in meaningful dialogue about their shared experiences, and collaboratively examine legal innovation and market developments.

This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.
