Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein is organizing a webinar series on the state of CSR regulation in the EU.
The Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein has formed a collaboration with ECOFACT AG to support its members in responding to regulatory change related to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
The regulatory frameworks governing corporate actions in the context of sustainability and corporate responsibility issues are rapidly evolving. After a long period mainly shaped by industry self-regulation, companies now face comprehensive expectations, detailed both in soft law standards and – increasingly – hard law. Examples include the ongoing revision of the EU’s Non-financial Reporting Directive, the upcoming EU Directive on Corporate Due Diligence and Corporate Accountability, and the new Task Force for Nature-related Financial Disclosures.
Join us for the third quarterly briefing call in which we will update you on what to expect from the European Union and from international standard setters.
This event is free of charge for United Nations Global Compact Signatories and Participants.
This webinar is held on Tuesday 6 July 2021 at 3–4 pm Finnish time.
Join the CoP team for a live Q&A office hours session, where they will walk through key requirements and share important updates for the 2026 Communication on Progress (CoP) reporting cycle.
In this seminar, we will explore sustainable business and green investments from multiple perspectives: where the greatest opportunities lie, what risks need to be managed, how regulation and financing instruments can be turned into strategic advantages, and how timing influences competitiveness.
Ensuring AI infrastructure respects human rights is essential. In this session, we explore how businesses and investors can finance and deploy AI energy infrastructure in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The session will examine how companies can identify and address human rights risks, engage meaningfully with affected stakeholders, protect community land and resource rights and help ensure the benefits of the AI and clean energy transitions are shared equitably.
