The EU sustainability legislation brings with it far-reaching changes that directly or indirectly affect every company. The new requirements are not optional - they must be implemented in the coming years. We would like to provide you with an introduction to the requirements in order to avoid legal risks and remain competitive. Adapting to EU sustainability legislation in a timely manner is key to minimizing risks while opening up new business opportunities.
In this online seminar on February 25 from 17:00 to 18:30, you will receive (1) an overview of EU sustainability legislation and (2) sector-specific insights into EU sustainability legislation in areas such as (i) product development, (ii) production, (iii) reporting and transparency, (iv) purchasing and supply chains or (v) the financial sector.
