Synopsis

The focus is on the impacts of these sustainability challenges and associated regulatory regimes for business enterprises: What are current compliance expectations? Are existing regulatory frameworks effective in minimising environmental impacts and improving the environmental performance of business? What regulatory risks and trends are emerging? How will these impact business strategy and models?
