A Guide to EU Climate Regulations Year 1: Insights for US Board Directors on the European Experience

While the regulatory landscape in the United States continues to shift with regard to sustainability efforts, many US companies will still be subject to global regulations, including those from Europe. In response to this, NACD Northern California is bringing together sustainability experts and board directors from Europe involved in implementing the European regulations this past year. This discussion will enable US board members to learn from the European experience of implementing climate regulations and what to expect in the future. Key discussion points will include:

1. Firsthand experiences from Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Internal Control over Financial Reporting standards implementation: Insights from the first year of European regulatory frameworks and the challenges faced.
2. European board approaches to sustainability: How European boards are adapting to sustainability imperatives and aligning them with long-term business strategy.
3. Integrating sustainability into governance: Key takeaways and best practices on incorporating sustainability into corporate strategies within a complex, evolving political and regulatory climate.
