Despite growing scientific consensus on climate and environmental challenges and extensive regulatory developments in recent years, the implementation and enforcement of ESG accountability frameworks face significant headwinds globally. Companies operating cross-border projects confront conflicting ESG standards, extraterritorial regulations, and asymmetric enforcement regimes, whilst states grapple with the limits of traditional policy tools in driving meaningful corporate accountability. Simultaneously, ESG-related litigation is emerging as a powerful enforcement mechanism, with courts increasingly called upon to adjudicate climate obligations, supply chain due diligence failures and greenwashing claims.
Against this background, this session explores ESG accountability from four complementary perspectives: international normative frameworks, state-level mechanisms, corporate obligations and judicial enforcement.

El caso se refiere a la legalidad de la legislación penal sobre el delito de difamación y las sanciones aplicadas a El Universo, uno de los periódicos más consolidados y de mayor circulación de Ecuador, a su columnista y sus tres directores.
As regulatory and policy developments signal a potential retreat from DEI initiatives, this panel will examine the evolving expectations set by regulators and how these may adapt to shifting political and economic landscapes. Our discussion will explore the current DEI regulatory landscape, the challenges regulators face in promoting DEI standards, and the broader implications of regulatory shifts for businesses. The discussion will focus on the mechanisms regulators use to drive accountability—whether through guidance, thematic reviews or enforcement—and how these approaches influence corporate culture and inclusion efforts. The panelists will share their insights on global case studies and industry-led initiatives and how businesses can navigate regulatory expectations while fostering meaningful DEI progress.

It has been said that there are basically three types of practice orientation: (1) the legal technical approach (2) the wise advisor (3) the lawyer with a high moral purpose as guided by the lawyers' conscience. It has been well recognised that the solution to the social challenges which intersect poverty such as migration climate change and wealth inequality must involve a lawyer’s commitment to a high moral imperative. This requires that that the lawyer approach legal problem-solving guided by such purpose. International norms particularly norms that are grounded upon soft law increasingly call for a holistic approach to business planning. The panel discussion will focus on how such things as the independence of the legal profession can assist in pursuing the practice orientation of a high moral purpose while still maintaining the support of the client in such pursuits.
A pre-recorded video made for the session, by Hon Mia Amor Mottley QC, Prime Minister of Barbados, on the topic, will be played and used in the discussion.

DiversityInclusionFrom an L&D perspective, the difficulties faced during the pandemic have made it clear that all organisations would be sensible to adopt more agile approaches to learning in order to improve performance, and embrace educational techniques that meet the opportunities and challenges of the adjusted world we now live in.

This session will be led by industry experts in learning design and delivery who will provide an insight into how a digital approach to learning can best serve learners of the future.

Italy welcomes legislative changes that represent a clear sign of greater awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) issues and urges employers towards a rapid cultural change, where human resources (HR) personnel can play an important role. Therefore, the attention is switching from more traditional areas of employment law to new ambits where lawyers can effectively collaborate with clients to shape forward-looking organisations.
It is believed that around 10% of practicing lawyers globally are also involved in academia – whether as part-time lecturers or active researchers. This dual role brings unique challenges and opportunities. It is of particular interest to the Canadian market. This session will explore how legal professionals can balance their practice with teaching and academic work, highlighting the mutual benefits between academic insights and legal practice.
