ESG and Sustainability Roundtable ABA SEERies: Sustainability Claims and Greenwashing Risks

Join the ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources (SEER) for the new "ESG and Sustainability Roundtable SEERies," where hot topics related to environmental, social, governance, and sustainability developments in the U.S. and beyond will be discussed. Each session will cover a key topic or development in this space and provide attendees with the chance to hear and learn from practitioners and experts across different sectors, industries, and jurisdictions. These events will also include breakout sessions, featuring in-house-only breakouts that give attendees opportunities to discuss and collaborate with their counterparts in other organizations under the Chatham House Rule.

The ESG and Sustainability Roundtable SEERies is sponsored by the SEER ESG and Sustainability Committee, with co-sponsorship from the In-House Counsel Committee. Sessions are open to lawyers and other ESG and sustainability professionals. ABA SEER membership is not required to attend; however, if you are interested in learning more about the benefits of SEER membership, please visit ambar.org/JoinSEER. 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!
