Climate Change Disclosure for Public Companies

March 05, 2009

Moderated by Gray Taylor and David Spencer, this Bennett Jones seminar provided insight on the complex issues related to required disclosure by public companies relating to climate change, whether under continuous disclosure or offering documents, as well as the advantages and traps of going beyond required disclosure into the realm of voluntary climate change information sharing. The panellists touched on the growing list of guidance on these topics from regulators, courts, standards setting bodies and investors.
