Be Prepared For What’s Coming Down the Tracks – EU and UK Sustainability Legislation and its Impact
In the final session of our Techies Go Green Summer Webinar series we’rel be joined by two leading experts who will discuss both the existing and forthcoming corporate sustainability legislation at both UK and EU level. As more and more organisations put sustainability at the heart of their strategic planning, what do businesses need to do to prepare for the forthcoming legislation so that they can take advantage of the opportunities and mitigate against risks in the supply chain and ultimately not get left scrambling to catch up!
Key topics covered in the session will include:
Existing and forthcoming corporate sustainability legislation at both UK and EU level
How organisations can prepare for forthcoming requirements
Consequences of non-compliance
Key deadlines and timelines
