Good Governance and Sustainability: An Aligned Path
Organized by EY, in partnership with Accountancy Europe, BusinessEurope, ecoDa, EuropeanIssuers, Guberna and VBO-FEB, the European Corporate Governance Conference 2024 – under the auspices of Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU – brings together decision-makers, academics and key business, as well as civil society, experts from EU and beyond.
At this year’s conference, the speakers will engage in discussions about the benefits and challenges to integrate sustainability, as well as, strong risk management and internal controls into business strategies. The proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive presented a new way for companies to do business inside and outside Europe. What kind of guidance would companies need? How are other countries and regions addressing this agenda? These and other questions will be on the table during this all-day conference. The conference is livestreamed.
