Emerging Issues in Sustainability: Parts One & Two (On-Demand Recordings)

Description:

In Part One:

Attorneys from Keller and Heckman provide a general overview of the developments associated with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as well as chemical-specific restrictions and prohibitions that are emerging at the federal, state and even local level. These issues impact not only food packaging materials and a variety of other products, but also supply chain relationships that your companies may need to consider moving forward.

In Part Two: Attorneys from Steptoe and Johnson LLP review the current legal landscape for green claims for packaging at the federal and state level, and how companies can develop compliance programs to ensure liability exposure is minimized. This session also covers recycled content mandates and a discussion of the SEC’s proposed rule for climate-related disclosures, with a focus on steps public companies, and private companies within their value chains, can take to ensure compliance.

The second presentation also covers issues raised in the previous presentation and will feature information about the Responsible Use of Gene Editing, a platform developed by the Center for Food Integrity with input from FMI and other stakeholders including seed companies, consumer groups, and food industry representatives. Companies that are using the platform as a means of providing information and promoting transparency surrounding their employment of the new food technology will share their experiences.
