Connecting the dots between regulation, practice and the real challenges businesses face today: that's what our ESG event, "Omnibus-Package and Duty of Care: Key Impacts for Swiss Businesses" last Wednesday was all about.
The event began with a welcome address from our Managing Partner Dr. Beat Brechbühl, followed by a keynote by Prof. Dr. Isabelle Romy, who framed the day by highlighting the broader ESG corporate sustainability landscape and the regulatory forces shaping the corporate duty of care. corporate responsibility. Our guest speaker Dr. Ralf Sauer, Deputy Head of Unit Company Law at the European Commission, offered an in-depth look at the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) as amended by the Omnibus Package.
The interactive Q&A with Dr. Ralf Sauer, Erich Herzog (Economiesuisse), Dr. Patrick Dümmler (Swiss Trade Association (SGV)), François Rohrbach (Groupement of Multinational Companies (GEM)), Prof. Dr. Isabelle Romy, and Dr. Aurélien Barakat took the complex regulatory package and turned it into an animated discussion about risks, responsibilities, and decisions that companies are facing.
A big thank you to all participants and to Prof. Dr. Isabelle Romy, Dr. Beat Brechbühl, Dr. Aurélien Barakat, Andreas Hösli, Dr. Umberto Milano, and Dr. Guillaume Jacquemet, for infusing this day with their expertise. 🙏
