The ESG and Sustainability Roundtable SEERies is sponsored by the SEER ESG and Sustainability Committee, with co-sponsorship from the In-House Counsel Committee.

On April 10th, we will delve into the world of sustainability claims and the related risk of greenwashing. Companies are increasingly motivated to market or disclose the sustainability benefits of their products and operations-be it to consumers, shareholders, or other interested parties. As scrutiny and regulation of such claims increases, however, companies face potential allegations of greenwashing-i.e., that their sustainability claims are false or misleading. How are companies tackling this issue in light of the regulatory and litigation landscape? What are the "dos and don'ts" when it comes to sustainability claims? Join this roundtable discussion to brainstorm these questions and benchmark with your peers, led by Juge Gregg and Kevin Klesh.  Stay tuned for future sessions tentatively scheduled for June 12 and August 14!
