Blurring Boundaries - Exploring the convergence of life sciences and law

Welcome to the launch of the On the Pulse webinar series

Everyone is talking about ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) standards against which the markets are assessing businesses’ impact on society and the environment, how they are conducting business, and their transparency. Having an ESG framework within an organisation is crucial and will become paramount in the future, not only to attract investments, but also to reduce risk, lower cost, improve reputation and attract new customers. This trend will not bypass Bosnia and Herzegovina, or the region, and the aim of this event is to support the financial services and large corporate sectors to optimise their ESG-related opportunities, as well as to manage the associated risks. Join CMS experts from Austria, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Turkey to explore the key legal developments regarding ESG that have already been introduced or are imminent from both the EU and the non-EU perspective. Learn about the state of ESG affairs in Bosnia, what our neighbours are doing and the regulations we can expect from the EU.      Our second panel will showcase the market’s view on ESG. Join our respected speakers from three renowned international in­sti­tu­tions—the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Finance in Motion (FiM)—to hear about the global impact of ESG generally and in relation to access to financing. We will also be joined by a unique commercial bank operating in the Southeastern Europe region that is already active in ESG. This event will provide plenty of opportunities to interact with our expert speakers and industry participants through the moderated panel and Q&A sessions as well as the networking cocktail drinks that will offer a fruitful and pleasant conclusion to this event.
