The impact of new Environmental Standards and policy tools to address economic growth and green recovery
About this webinar
In this webinar the attendees will have the opportunity to learn that although environmental law is a legal obligation, which necessarily imposes certain constraints, it can also represent a great development opportunity. 
Indeed, respecting the regulations and incorporating environmental protection into company strategy is now key to a company’s performance and continuity.  Whether through monitoring energy consumption or by implementing processes to limit waste generation, contributing to the fight against climate change enables companies to reduce unnecessary expenditure while actually boosting their net income. In addition to such financial savings, implementing an environmental policy makes a company more attractive in the short and long term to clients and investors with sustainable development concerns. It also rallies employees around a common goal.Â
