Event Details
Three regulations require companies to make a greater commitment to ESG: the 2017 French law on duty of care, and the European CS3D and CSRD directives. DWF, the global provider of integrated legal and business services, drawing on its ‘True Diligence’ report, invites you to a conference to decrypt and analyse the impact of these texts and the resulting new responsibilities of companies.
French and UK experts will share their know-how on the objectives, strategy and technical requirements of this new system, to help companies better navigate this increasingly complex legal environment.
