The IMS club dedicated to all professions linked to sustainable development is back for 2023! New year, new format: each meeting will take place in person once a month during lunchtime to create a round-table format for open discussions on current ESG/CSR topics. On top of that, a special guest will be invited to each session to join the discussion.
The topic of this session: Stakeholders & Greenwashing
Recent events have highlighted the risk in telling a “green lie” and regulators in EU, but also around the world are increasing their legislative frameworks to protect stakeholders but also shareholders and investors. In 2021, the European Commission found that more than 40 percent of green claims made on business websites were “exaggerated, false or deceptive”. There is a clear need for understanding of what qualifies as “green” and what contributes to greenwashing.
The live discussion of the SMC will act as a dialogue and brainstorming session in order to exchange views and opinions but also express ideas and share thoughts of communication approaches relevant to green or sustainability claims. Having the assistance of the facilitator, participants will have the opportunity to elaborate on, share their practice, and discuss about the approaches and ways to safeguard sustainability authenticity, data reliability and effective communication on both negative and positive impacts, but also actions to address and manage them.
When? Thursday 22 of June from noon to 2:00 p.m.
Where? Allen & Overy / 5 avenue J.F. Kennedy / L-1855 Luxembourg
For who? Anyone involved in both reflecting on or implementing ESG / CSR within their organisation
