Beyond Compliance: Turning Legal Obligations into Competitive Edge

Wednesday, September 24

In today’s global landscape, businesses face a complex patchwork of ESG regulations. This regulatory uncertainty has left many companies questioning the best path forward. Yet, at its core, the purpose of these frameworks is to drive investor and customer transparency, proactive risk management, and long-term value creation.

So how can businesses transform ESG compliance from a must-do obligation into strategic advantage in 2025 and beyond?

We hosted a panel discussion and networking session with industry leaders (CSOs) and executives as they explore this shift. Co-hosted by global law firm DLA Piper and climate advisory and academy OnePointFive, our distinguished speakers shared candid insights, practical strategies, and real-world experiences on embedding sustainability into core business decision-making and driving competitive advantage.

Session highlights:

• Navigating the evolving global ESG regulatory landscape and key jurisdictional differences
• Considering the shift toward stakeholder capitalism, by addressing legal and reputational risks beyond compliance, including the impact of shareholder activism, evolving customer preferences, and the pursuit of long-term value.
• Firsthand perspectives from seasoned CSOs on integrating sustainability into enterprise strategy and operations
• Practical guidance for C-suite leaders on driving long-term value amid heightened expectations and scrutiny
