Primer on climate change : Directors’ duties and disclosure obligations

Organised by Chapter Zero France in collaboration with Chapter Zero UK, Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative, and Chapter Zero International (previously Climate Governance Initiative). 

Date: 28/06/2021

Three takeaways

• Boards of Directors must make sure they get ahead of the curve on climate related regulation.
• Legal disclosures and obligations on climate aren't an ancillary subject, these are core to the work of the board.
• The role of the Chair of the Board is particularly decisive, where she/he can make a difference through board composition and culture.
