It is at times measured\, at others – to quote those in the industry – ‘tedious’ and ‘onerous’. \nCertain of the ESG indices are laudable because of the benefits they bring\, relevantly mitigating the risk of greenwashing and engendering a more sustainable environment. However\, there is an increasing countereffect\, ‘green-hushing’\, whereby companies deliberately downplay their environmental/green credentials or simply keep them confidential. \nThis presentation touches on the current regulatory environment for greenwashing\, covering certain jurisdictions\, looks at the pros and cons of green-hushing\, and offers some practical tips. \nAbout the Speaker – John Zadkovich\nJohn advises on a range of energy\, trade and finance matters\, with particular expertise in international commercial arbitration\, investigations and public international law. \nHe has a strong legal and commercial understanding of the trade\, energy (including oil and gas\, mining/natural resources\, renewables)\, infrastructure and finance sectors.
