Next Webinar :
Environmental Risk and Insurance Management- Performing Due Diligence in the Era of Climate Change ~ [September 25, 2008 - September 25, 2008]
The Concept:
This webinar has been postponed until September 25, 2008, please contact us with any questions.
Public and private pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is beginning to have a material effect on deals and developments. Building owners as well as buyers and sellers involved in M & A transactions are witnessing the effects of climate change and its associated risks. Shareholders and stakeholders are pressuring companies to calculate and disclose their GHG footprint. Shareholders believe that greener companies bring more value to the marketplace, to their employees and to the bottom-line. This thinking translates to the world of M & A transactions and divestitures and the due diligence undertaken to measure the costs/benefits and potential liabilities.
Join our panel of experts, Lawrence Schnapf, Special Counsel, Shulte, Roth & Zabel, Lindene Patton, Climate Product Officer, Zurich Financial Services Group, Aditya Sharma, Project Manager, ERM and Dean Jeffery Telego, President, Risk Management Technologies, Inc. (Moderator) as they examine the critical elements of the GHG debate. This webinar shall:
