Sustainability is becoming a corporate watchword. Today, more than ever, corporate counsel and executives should keep abreast of the legal and political developments that address whether companies are operating in an environmentally responsible manner. Prudent companies and managers will need to develop and adopt practices that minimize the environmental footprint of their operations.

Topics of discussion include:

• • Why sustainability can be a marketing advantage and a business necessity

• • Potential liability issues What regulations and initiatives are being proposed in Washington

• The economic argument for sustainability Why these issues are important to corporate counsel and executives in all practice areas
